The brief

Sight testing models vary across the UK.

Technology is evolving and models are developing where parts of the sight test are carried out remotely from the patient and sometimes different components are carried out by different people in different places and/or at different times.

We are seeking clinical and regulatory expert advice to develop a risk-based framework to understand the risks of the different components of a sight test not being carried out at the same time, by the same person and/or in the same place.

This invitation to tender comes as we review the Opticians Act 1989 and associated GOC policies following a call for evidence in 2022 to consider whether any changes are required to further protect the public.

This includes a review of any provisions relating to testing of sight.
