Optometry Today TV (OTTV) the new, web-based TV station for optometry, is now live and freely available at www.optometrytoday.tv
The site has been developed by Ten Alps Publishing and the AOP. It contains video-news updates from the Optometry Today editorial team and CET video scripted by Dr Frank Eperjesi of Aston University. There are two general CET points available from the exam on the site which is free to users thanks to the funding of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care.
This is the only place to find a TV station dedicated to optometry, which not only offers a brand new way of receiving CET but will keep you up to date with the latest optical news.
The AOP has sent renewal forms to all its members. 2008 membership ends on 31 December 2008, so members need to submit their fees (unless they already pay by direct debit) by then. Members can now pay on line

Members who wish to take advatnage of our concessionary membership should remember that they need to sign a form confirming that they work 100 days per year or fewer.
