ACO Advisories

The Alberta College of Optometrists (ACO) provides advice to the optometric profession to support and guide optometrists in the proper implementation of the ACO Standards of Practice.

These ACO Advisories are not considered a standard of practice; however, they give additional clarification and direction in the proper interpretation of the ACO Standards of Practice.  They are not to be interpreted as legal advice.  The ACO highly encourages all optometrists to seek professional advice when required.

The ACO Advisories are in constant evolution and may be edited or revised for clarity at any time.
