Overview
Mission
To promote global, equitable, and comprehensive eye health through program accreditation, and the education, certification, support of allied ophthalmic personnel (aop) for the eye care team.

The organization facilitates eye care by encouraging the establishment of medically oriented education programs for allied health personnel in ophthalmology, developing standards of education and training (re) certifying, and encouraging continuing occupational development.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
