Welcome to the Federation of Ophthalmic and Dispensing Opticians website. 

The Federation of Ophthalmic and Dispensing Opticians (FODO) represents registered opticians in business.  Our aim is to achieve eye health for all, delivered through world-class services, provided by regulated community-based professionals operating in a competitive environment.  Wherever possible we act jointly with partner optical bodies and other stakeholders to present a united voice for eye health and the eye care sector.  We are founder members of the Eye Health Alliance and supporters of Vision 2020 UK and the UK Vision Strategy. 

Our members include the national and international high street and supermarket brands, regional and family companies, mobile domiciliary providers and individual opticians.  We account for over three quarters of market activity and over two thirds of eye examinations.
