Abstract
Taiwan has one of the highest myopia prevalence in the world and its eye care services are provided by both ophthalmologists and optometrists. The law on the practice of optometry was passed on December 18, 2015, by the legislature; thus began a new chapter for the development of optometry. This note aims to share some information about this newly recognized eye care profession in Taiwan and share some thoughts on the future development of the profession.
