APERTURE is a service of the British Optical Association Museum aiding users to access suitable ophthalmic heritage content elsewhere on the Web. In this way we hope to 'open out' the subject to the widest possible audience.

You can also find out about our partner optical museums across the globe. It may surprise you to discover how many there are.  Where appropriate we also include pointers to relevant organisations and learned societies.

Use the menu links to explore APERTURE further.
