Standards of practice for optometrists and dispensing opticians
At Middle East Optical, we uphold the highest international standards of professional practice, fully aligned with the Standards of Practice set by the UK General Optical Council (GOC). Our clinical governance framework ensures that every examination, prescription, and patient interaction is delivered with integrity, accountability, and accuracy.
As licensed optometrists and dispensing opticians, our practitioners are professionally accountable and personally responsible for the quality of care provided. This means that every clinical decision is transparent, evidence-based, and always in the best interests of the patient.
We are committed to:
- Patient-Centered Care – placing the safety, dignity, and well-being of patients at the heart of every decision.
- Ethics & Accountability – ensuring that all actions can be justified in line with professional and regulatory standards.
- Regulatory Compliance – adhering to all applicable laws, including health and safety, data protection, equality, and safeguarding.
- Professional Competence – maintaining up-to-date knowledge and skills through continuous professional development, audits, and peer review.
- Clinical Excellence – conducting thorough assessments, accurate prescriptions, safe referrals, and maintaining complete and secure patient records.
- Safeguarding & Protection – ensuring a safe clinical environment, protecting vulnerable patients, and following strict infection-control and risk-prevention measures.
- Collaboration – working transparently with colleagues, insurers, regulators, and healthcare partners in the best interests of patient care.
- Honesty & Transparency – responding openly to concerns, complaints, and errors, and maintaining trust through candid communication.
By embedding these standards into our daily practice, Middle East Optical provides assurance to patients, insurance partners, and regulatory authorities that our services are safe, ethical, and internationally compliant. Every consultation is not only a clinical encounter but also a demonstration of our commitment to professional excellence and public trust.
