The New York State Optometric Association (NYSOA) is a professional organization that has been dedicated to improving vision care and promoting the field of optometry since its establishment in 1895. As primary healthcare providers, optometrists play a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ocular disorders and systemic diseases that affect the eyes. The NYSOA, affiliated with the American Optometric Association, works in collaboration with local optometric societies across New York State to protect and advance the profession of optometry, while also raising public awareness about the importance of primary eye care. The NYSOA aims to be the leading authority in eye and vision care in New York State, advocating for the profession and its members through continuous efforts in Albany and the third-party arena. By joining the NYSOA, optometrists can benefit from professional development opportunities, networking with like-minded professionals, and contributing to the improvement of patient care and the overall standing of optometry. With a strong focus on advocacy, the NYSOA ensures that the voices of its members are heard and their priorities are addressed, both at the state and national levels.Generated from the website
