Resources For Optometrists

Primary Eye Care (PEC) is a patient-centred eye healthcare service provided by registered optometrists as the first point of contact within the eye care system in Malaysia, following standards set by the Majlis Optik Malaysia (MOC) and Ministry of Health Malaysia.

PEC includes comprehensive eye examinations, vision assessments, contact lens care, myopia management, ocular health evaluation, patient education, and early detection of eye and systemic diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and hypertension.

The goal of Primary Eye Care is to provide safe, ethical, evidence-based eye care that protects vision, promotes eye health, prevents avoidable blindness, and improves quality of life. Through professional practice, continuous development, and collaborative care, optometrists play a vital role in strengthening accessible and sustainable eye healthcare services in Malaysia.
