British Muslim Association of Optometrists
British Muslim Association of Optometrists (BMAO)
The British Muslim Association of Optometrists (BMAO) is a not-for-profit professional body representing Muslim and allied optical professionals across the UK.
Our mission is to empower, connect, and inspire those working in eye care through faith-aligned professional development, community outreach, and collaboration.
We host GOC-accredited CPD events, networking opportunities, and public health initiatives that unite optometrists, dispensing opticians, students, and industry partners — all driven by a shared commitment to excellence, service, and social impact.
BMAO also facilitates free CPD grant claims for locum optometrists, supports charitable giving through event surpluses, and promotes awareness of Islamic heritage in vision science.
