    The American Optometric Association established the Commission on Ophthalmic Standards to ensure high ophthalmic standards. Progress is currently delayed by a proposed Federal Trade Commission rule impacting voluntary standards organizations.

    Area of Science:

    • Optometry and Public Health
    • Regulatory Affairs in Healthcare

    Background:

    • The American Optometric Association (AOA) has a long-standing commitment to maintaining high ophthalmic standards.
    • This dedication spans over five decades of active involvement in shaping the field.
    • This historical involvement necessitated a formal structure for standards development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the AOA's historical involvement in ophthalmic standards.
    • To introduce the Commission on Ophthalmic Standards (COS).
    • To outline the scope, function, and leadership responsibilities within the COS.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical review of the AOA's engagement with ophthalmic standards.
    • Description of the formation and mandate of the Commission on Ophthalmic Standards.

  • Explanation of the roles and responsibilities of the Director of Standards Development.

    • Main Results:

    • The AOA's long-term commitment has culminated in the establishment of the Commission on Ophthalmic Standards.
    • The commission's operational framework, including scope and function, has been defined.
    • The responsibilities of the Director of Standards Development have been clarified.

    Conclusions:

    • The creation of the Commission on Ophthalmic Standards represents a significant step in the AOA's pursuit of excellence in eye care.
    • The commission's program, while established, faces a temporary impediment.
    • A proposed Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule concerning voluntary standards setting organizations is currently delaying the commission's progress.
