The Scope of Optometry Practice in Jordan

CONCLUSIONS Optometry professionals in Jordan can provide more services if the scope of practice is expanded to match their knowledge and skills. Moreover, their nomenclature as refractionists does not represent the range of services they provide that extend beyond refraction. The concern is that optometric services are not reachable by many Jordanian populations because of the inequality of the distribution of professionals. Thus, advocacy to expand the scope of practice in Jordan is recommended.
