Clinical Hub

The ABDO Clinical Hub is packed with resources for you whether you are a dispensing optician, contact lens optician or low vision optician. This hub is for you if you are looking for support on everything from children’s eye issues to supporting older people with their visual needs.

No matter what stage you are at in your career, we hope that the resources and links provided will prove useful to you. In each main section you will find an overview of the topic, as well as fuller articles, and resources to help you find out where to go next.

Plus, you can access useful resources such as a guide to acronyms used in eye care and eye wear, a glossary of terms, as well as links to ABDO’s clinical advice and guidelines, patient triage documents, patient leaflets, and information to share with patients.
