Register for AAO Advocacy Webinar on State Vision Screening Legislation

Join the Academy-led webinar on June 24 to address growing concerns about state mandates requiring comprehensive pediatric eye exams. The Academy opposes these costly and unnecessary requirements, advocating instead for vision screenings as the preferred, more efficient and cost-effective method for detecting children's vision problems. 

This session responds to optometry-backed legislation seeking to mandate expensive comprehensive eye exams at the state level, an issue highlighted in CAR 24-01 submitted by AAPOS. Featured speakers include AAO Councilors Dr. Stacey Kruger (AAPOS), Dr. Scott Larson (AAPOS), Dr. Geoffrey Bradford (AAP-Section on Ophthalmology), and Matt Halpin (Executive Director, New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology), who will help attendees understand the issue and learn how to work with the AAO and state societies to protect access to appropriate pediatric eye care while opposing unnecessary mandates.
