Canadian Association of Optometrists: The National Voice of Vision Health

The Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) is the national federated body representing over 7,900 members, including optometrists, students, and assistants. Its culture is defined by leadership, advocacy, and a commitment to public health. Operating with values of being Accountable, Collaborative, Impactful, and Innovative, the CAO functions as a “knowledge broker” for the profession. The internal environment is results-driven and professional, fostering a culture where staff are engaged in high-level federal advocacy and the advancement of optometric education standards across Canada.

While the CAO’s primary administrative headquarters is located in Ottawa (234 Argyle Ave), it maintains a significant presence and influence within the Toronto and Ontario landscape through its federated partnerships. In Toronto, the CAO collaborates closely with the Ontario Association of Optometrists (OAO) and the College of Optometrists of Ontario, which are located in the city. This network ensures that national vision health strategies—such as the “Vision at Work” safety program—are effectively implemented in Canada’s largest economic hub. Working within this sphere places you at the intersection of national policy and local clinical excellence, contributing to a “healthy eyes and clear vision” mission for all Canadians.
