CFEH plays an important role in providing practical support to optometrists who are working in the community, with its ongoing professional development programs and resources helping to ensure that optometrist have developed, or have access to, the expertise and equipment needed for early detection of eye conditions that cause blindness.
CFEH is also helping to train the next generation of optometrists, with the clinical team contributing to the teaching programs delivered to students at The University of New South Wales' School of Optometry and Vision Science.
