The need to regulate optometric mobile practice was prompted by a series of complaints relating to unprofessional and poor service during on-site screenings, so the board then sought to develop guidelines for the mobile practice and visual screening. The board was mindful of the acute need for care in specific areas where access to care is limited and that it would be a disservice to the public they are mandated to protect by not allowing mobile practice. It is also acknowledged that there is currently an imbalance of eye care resources favouring the urban, hence the development of guidelines to address the need.
