Optometry Connection reflects Optometry Australia’s strategic imperative to continue to evolve and adapt within a fast-changing world. From technological advances in the detection and treatment of ocular pathologies to selected case reports and clinical studies that advance the provision of primary eye care, Optometry Connection represents a new era in delivering quality content that meets contemporary education standards; its aim is to support optometrists in their day-to-day patient and clinical care decision making while adequately representing the full scope of practice in contemporary optometry.
The print issues of Optometry Connection are distributed exclusively to members of Optometry Australia five times per year. With the exception of the inaugural issue (published this year to coincide with the changes to CPD occurring in Australia) the magazine will be published in March, May, July and November of each year, with a special issue published in September on a dedicated topic.
Optometry Connection magazine will credit each Optometry Australia member with up to 4 hours of CPD per each issue.
Visit Optometry Australia’s Institute of Excellence (CPD) or click the link below to read the online version of the publication and undertake the assessment questions written for all issues of Optometry Connection.

In the spirit of reconciliation Optometry Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
Due to Coronavirus (COVID-19), not all optometry practices are currently open or seeing patients outside of urgent eye health services. Optometrists have been advised to use their clinical judgement to determine if appointments can be postponed.
We recommend calling your optometrist and discussing your eye health concerns with them to determine if an appointment is necessary.
You can also use our Find an Optometrist function to find an optometrist near you providing telehealth and/or urgent care services. Urgent care is care that can’t be postponed without risk to your health or wellbeing. This may include replacing lost or broken glasses, or investigating red or sore eyes or sudden changes in vision.
