Paraoptometrics Resources

"Being a Paraoptometric - correction a MARYLAND Paraoptometric - means we get to be on the front lines of a growing field in the world of Optometry in our State. We get the opportunity to make our voices heard as we seek education, change, growth, and recognition. Best of all - there is no cost to join the MOA Paraoptometric section! Simply sign up and get involved!"                              

All paraoptometrics/optometric staff of AOA member ODs may become AOA associate members and have access to all current Paraoptometric Resource Center (PRC) member benefits and services, at no membership cost to the paraoptometric and no added membership cost to the AOA-member optometrist. Paraoptometrics interested in gaining access to these resources should request that their AOA member OD enroll them.
