Every year, the optometry community comes together to highlight the essential role eye care plays in overall health. This year, from March 22–28, optometrists around the world will join in celebrating World Optometry Week, culminating in World Optometry Day on March 23. This global observance highlights the important impact the field of optometry has on vision, health, and quality of life.
This year’s theme is “A Shared Vision: Collaboration in Global Eye Care”, reflecting a vital message: improving access to eye care isn’t something any one profession can do alone. By working together — across health systems, disciplines, and borders — eye care professionals can help ensure that quality, sustainable vision care reaches people everywhere.
According to the World Council of Optometry:
- The world faces growing demand for eye care due to factors like population growth and aging demographics.
- Meeting these challenges requires integrated, people-centered care that builds partnerships across professions and communities.
At Cargo Eye Care of Las Colinas, we embrace this collaborative spirit — not only within our clinic but in how we care for our patients, educate our community, and partner with you in your vision journey.
Our Vision for Your Vision
Vision is central to everyday life — from working, reading and driving to learning, play, and connecting with loved ones. When we collaborate with other health professionals, it strengthens our ability to:
- Detect health conditions early through comprehensive eye exams
- Manage chronic eye conditions and diseases
- Provide personalized care for patients in every season of life
- Educate patients about eye health and preventive care
True collaboration leads to better outcomes for patients — and that is our commitment at Cargo Eye Care.
“At Cargo Eye Care of Las Colinas, we believe that quality vision care is about more than prescriptions and glasses — it’s about partnering with our patients and fellow health professionals to support lifelong eye health,” said Dr. Jonathan Cargo, founder of Cargo Eye Care and therapeutic optometrist and glaucoma specialist. “The theme of World Optometry Week — A Shared Vision: Collaboration in Global Eye Care — truly reflects the way we practice every day. I’m proud of our team’s commitment to collaboration, education, and compassionate care, and we’re honored to help our community see clearly and live well every day.”
