The National Optometry Hall of Fame, administered by Optometry Cares® —The AOA Foundation, inducted these five new members into the elite group of optometrists during a ceremony at Optometry’s Meeting® in June.
The National Optometry Hall of Fame highlights the luminaries within the field of optometry—individuals who have made a significant and long-lasting impact on the profession.
New inductees are determined by a selection committee that represents the AOA, Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO); the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD); the National Optometric Association (NOA); and the American Academy of Optometry (AAO).
