Registration
Optometrists and dispensing opticians must be registered with the General Optical Council (GOC) to practise in the UK.
We publish registers of all optometrists, dispensing opticians, student opticians, and optical businesses who are qualified and fit to practise, train or carry on business.
This section contains information about the Opticians Registers, guidance on how to apply for registration, and much more.
