Recommendations and resources for eyecare providers
Our recommendations have been designed to help optometrists, dispensing opticians, assisting staff and practice managers make eye examinations more accessible for autistic people.
Our recommendations are set out according to the different stages involved in an eye examination. Where applicable, we’ve indicated which members of staff the recommendations are likely to apply to.
- Preparing your practice for autistic patients
- Booking the appointment
- When autistic patients attend the appointment
- The eye examination: tips for optometrists
- Dispensing spectacles: tips for the dispensing team
You can find out more about the studies and research behind these recommendations in our published article in Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics.
If you have any questions, please contact Ketan Parmar.
