Mission of the Ohio Optometric Association (OOA)
The Ohio Optometric Association serves its members and their patients by advocating for the profession to the public and policymakers, promoting the importance of and access to comprehensive eye care, and providing meaningful resources that strengthen professional viability.
Led by its Board of Directors, the OOA also provides regional leadership by dividing the state into 12 regions, or zones, each led by a volunteer member, the Zone Governor.
Zones hold regular meetings throughout the year. Click on OOA Calendar of Events for a listing of upcoming meetings around the state. In the search bar, type "Zone __" for your specific zone meetings.
