Background: There is a scarcity of research evidence on the state of optometry education in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Aims: To assess the state of optometry education in the EMR and provide evidence for policymakers and stakeholders. Methods: Twenty-two purposively selected key academic stakeholders from 21 countries and the Eastern Mediterranean Council of Optometry completed a semi-structured optometry situation analysis questionnaire about the state of optometry education in their respective countries between August 2021 and January 2022. Data was analysed using SPSS version 25. Results: Data from 19 (86%) of the 21 countries and 1 territory were included in this analysis. Eight (36.4%) countries offered bachelor’s degree programmes and 5 (22.7%) offered a diploma, 6 (27.3%) countries did not offer any optometry education. Saudi Arabia offered a doctor of optometry programme. Programmes were accredited by an accreditation body through periodic quality audits in 7 countries. Morocco had the highest average number of graduates per annum (n = 305), while Yemen had only 20. Conclusion: EMR countries differ in the number of optometry education programmes offered, as well as in their curricular competency levels and systems to monitor quality standards. There is a need for regional collaboration to harmonize and improve the quality of optometry education in the EMR.
