The Canadian Association of Optometrists In January 2005, the Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) designated Optometry Giving Sight as their International Charity of Choice. This endorsement has been key to growing Optometry Giving Sight support in Canada and we are truly grateful. The CAO continues to provide Optometry Giving Sight with extensive in-kind support in the form of mailings, article placement in the Canadian Journal of Optometry, administrative support, assistance with incorporation and other items. As of July 2007, the CAO became a National Silver In Kind Sponsor.
