Optikerforeningen

Optikerforeningen (The Opticians' Association) is the trade association for Danish opticians' companies. The association was originally founded in 1910. Later, in 1970, the Opticians' Association for Denmark of 1910 and the National Association of Special Opticians were merged into a joint organization, which in 2016 was named the Opticians' Association. Today, the Opticians' Association represents more than 250 companies and 1,000 opticians and optometrists.

Optikerforeningen works to ensure that Danes have the best possible vision care. This is done through continuous education of opticians and optometrists, open dialogue with the health authorities, and the dissemination of information to the public about the importance of good vision and what can be done to maintain it as best as possible.

ptikerforeningen seeks to influence social issues that are important for citizens' vision and for the work of opticians and optometrists. This includes working for the continued further development of the recognition and areas of business of opticians and optometrists. This is done, among other things, through continuous cooperation with authorities, educational institutions, etc. regarding continuing education and public education.
