In February 2017, Optical Confederation partners FODO, ABDO, ACLM and FMO ran an eight-week public consultation on draft refractive surgery standards.
The standards were published in June 2017 and aim to promote multidisciplinary working. They focus on the way refractive surgery is delivered by various clinicians, each with different but compatible responsibilities, and working within teams to provide patients with the best possible care. The standards also include checks and balances on the way a patient's consent is sought for refractive procedures.
