In rural America, opportunity for optometry amid shortfall of ophthalmologists

Patient access to eye care and care itself in rural America is jeopardized by the shortage of ophthalmologists, a new study suggests. AOA President Steven T. Reed, O.D., says optometry can help close the gap between the shrinking supply of ophthalmologists and the demand for care. By comparison, more than 99% of Americans live in counties with a doctor of optometry.

Destination: Scope expansion

The AOA deploys multifaceted support for state affiliates in their high-stakes fights to secure optometric scope expansion through strategic guidance, administrative and operational resources, and the Future Practice Initiative, established in 2018. The bold direction is yielding remarkable results—scope expansion and the future of optometry are reaching historic heights.

Opportunities in Optometry Grants deliver fresh perspectives and enthusiasm

New grant recipients are already embracing optometry and searching for new ways to elevate eye health across America.
