Abstract

The article focuses on the transition into autumn in the UK and its relevance to eye health and optometry. It highlights the differing definitions of autumn’s start—meteorological (September 1) versus astronomical (September 22)—and emphasizes the importance of children’s eye health as schools reopen, noting calls from Optometry Ireland and survey findings from Asda about parental awareness of early eye testing. Additionally, the article introduces a new continuing professional development (CPD) series for pre-registration optometrists on core skills, beginning with professionalism. It also previews upcoming events and special issues related to optometry, including the Eyes on Sustainability conference and the Optician Awards 2025. [Extracted from the article]
