Vision

Leading in optometric regulatory excellence for the best vision health of Canadians

Mission

To advance optometric regulation in Canada by facilitating collaboration between provincial regulators, sharing resources, best practices and coordinating policy approaches whenever possible.

Philosophy

FORAC’s members have the duty to administer applicable provincial and federal legislation in the public interest. Our integrity is demonstrated by ethical conduct, fairness, openness and accountability. Through leadership, innovation and cooperation with other health care organizations, FORAC is dedicated to the provision of quality health care services by competent and compassionate optometrists.

FORAC is the national voice of provincial optometric regulatory bodies; however, recognizing that provincial differences in scope of practice regulation, registration requirements and other issues exist, none of FORAC’s recommendations, resolutions or actions is construed as binding on any of its members.

FORAC ‘s constitution and governance structure are evolving in order to assist its members to best serve the public interest and regulate the profession of optometry.
