The Opening Your Eyes Scholarship program, powered by The Vision Council Foundation, plays a pivotal role in alleviating tuition and educational expenses for students who are dedicated to obtaining a degree in ophthalmic dispensing. The program has enabled over 35 opticianry students with limited resources to complete their degrees and enter the workforce with a passion for eye health at 16 partner schools across the country.

36% of eyecare providers cite a severe shortage of opticians.

OAA Board of Directors

Our Mission:

The OAA is the collective voice of the opticianry industry. The ongoing mission of the OAA is to work with members, partners and other professionals—both inside and outside of our industry—to assure that opticians receive the recognition, respect, opportunity and protection you deserve. Likewise, we work tirelessly to further a positive and informed brand image for opticianry, in both local and national markets.

Our History:

Opticianry is a longstanding and noble field of practice—one, in fact, that dates back as far as the mid-1300s. The Opticians Association of America is a well-established and integral part of that legacy. Established in 1926 as the Guild of Prescription Opticians, the OAA holds the distinguished honor of being the only national organization representing the professional, business, educational, legislative and regulatory interests of opticianry. For over 90 years, the OAA has been dedicated to the advancement of the American optician.
