Guidelines for Culturally Competent Eye and Vision Care

The Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO) and its member institutions have
embraced the concepts of diversity and multiculturalism in optometric education and in the
profession. In 2008, ASCO released the Guidleines for Culturally Competent Eye and Vision Care stating that the guidelines had been developed in order to promote and include cultural competence as part of the teaching curricula at institutions and practices. Because this guidelines were completed in 2008, I will suggest to read the complete pdf and see how these guidelines are applicable today. I do have to say that medical practices or specialties are addressing very similar cultural issues, one being closing the gap of health care disparities.
