NEW WEBSITE AND OPTOMETRY-EVOLUTION REBRAND COMING VERY SOON
The Optometry-Evolution Website is in its final stages of having a complete redesign and rebrand.
Thanks to everyone who showed interest in this work at Eyecare 2018 – the new website will hopefully be online very soon so keep a look out for this!
The new design will take the site ahead into 2018 with lots more clinical content to be added throughout the year. Also look out for the launch of the Emergency Eye Resource Pack – a complete training and reference pack to help support staff respond to emergency situations and helping to get patients seen urgently.
