We've been watching the optometric profession for more than 100 years.
Founded in 1901, the Missouri Optometric Association today represents and serves more than 500 members. Simply stated, the association’s goals are:
to represent the optometric profession to government, third parties, and the public;
to promote continued optometric education;
to assist members in conducting successful practices with the highest standards of patient care and efficiency; and
to improve the quality, availability and accessibility of eye and vision care.
As an expression of our full commitment to the practice of optometry, the MOA is an affiliate of the American Optometric Association (AOA). This means MOA members must belong to AOA as well.
We believe that only through strong and united organizations can optometry be expected to advance educationally and professionally. The essential aim of both the MOA and the AOA is the advancement of the profession.
