It is also proof that our professional site is read by a broad spectrum of independent members of the profession as well as those represented by our other long-term partners FODO and the AIO.

As a truly independent source of news that covers everything in Optics and Audiology with access free to the professions this is also an opportunity to grow our readership to above its 7000 level. See You all in Harrogate. “
