College of Optometrists : ウィキペディア英語版 | College of Optometrists The College of Optometrists is the professional, scientific and examining body for optometry in the United Kingdom, working for the public benefit. ==History== After the founding of the British Optical Association (BOA) in 1895, several more professional bodies were formed for the development of British optometry and by 1958 only four were in evidence authorised to conduct examinations and award professional qualifications statutorily approved by the General Optical Council. In 1962 the Institute of Optical Science (tracing its history to 1905) merged with the BOA thus leaving only three approved professional organisations for British optometry. The creation of a new professional body in the form of a ''Royal'' College for optometrists was suggested in 1972 in a letter published by Rishi Agarwal.〔Agarwal, R. (1972), Some challenging thoughts, Optician, 27 October, page 32.〕〔Schoen, John N.(1981), Secretary's Page, American Journal of Optometry and Physiological Optics, Volume 58, Number 7, pp 594-595, published by the American Academy of Optometry.〕〔Cole, John (1981), The voice of optics, Optician, volume 181, number 4680, page 27.〕〔Mullins, P. (1983), ''The Editor's Round'', The way we thought 10 years ago, Optician, volume 185, number 4795, page 6.〕 The College was established in 1980 by three separate bodies, the former British Optical Association founded in 1895 and the Scottish Association of Opticians tracing its history to 1903 (both of which were disbanded in 1980) and the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers (incorporated by a Royal Charter in 1629 during the reign of King Charles I) which surrendered its examining function to the new College. In 1980 the title British College of Ophthalmic Opticians (Optometrists) was adopted. In 1987 the title was changed to British College of Optometrists and in 1995 the title College of Optometrists was adopted.
