ECOO is proud to launch its new Blue Book 2025, the most comprehensive overview of the optometry and optics professions in Europe, on World Sight Day.
This World Sight Day is a reminder of why we must all continue to #LoveYourEyes. This year’s IAPB World Sight Day theme calls for eye care that is accessible, available, and affordable for everyone, everywhere. And the Blue Book 2025 shows how optometrists and opticians across Europe are central to this aim, delivering primary eye care, protecting sight and promoting eye health in their communities.
“The optical and optometric sector continues to play a vital role in safeguarding vision and eye health across Europe,” says ECOO President Gabriëlle Janssen. “With increasing recognition of the importance of primary eye care in public health systems, there is a pressing need for reliable, comparative information on how these professions are structured, educated, and regulated.”
By documenting both shared practices and national diversity, the ECOO Blue Book 2025 equips policymakers, educators and practitioners with vital information to plan for the future of eye care in Europe.
