The College of Optometrists has appointed Chris Steele FCOptom, DCLP, DipOC, DipTp(IP), FBCLA as the new Clinical Editor of Acuity, the College’s award-winning professional development journal.

The magazine is packed with news about the latest topics of discussion in optometry, advancements in optometric clinical practice, and offers articles with CPD points in each edition. Acuity is distributed to all members of The College of Optometrists who practice in the UK, as well as being available for members to download online.

Dr Gillian Rudduck MCOptom, President of The College of Optometrists, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chris to the Acuity editorial team. His extensive clinical expertise from senior clinical roles, his track record in academic publishing, and his commitment to advancing optometric knowledge will play an integral role in the continued success of the journal.
