AOA Seal of Acceptance

The Commission on Ophthalmic Standards evaluates the quality of ophthalmic products, devices, and instrumentation, and administers the AOA Seal of Acceptance program for the voluntary evaluation of ophthalmic products.

The American Optometric Association's Seal of Acceptance Program was established to accomplish the following:

• Inform consumers that the products prescribed or purchased meet minimum standards or specifications;
  
  
• Assist practitioners in selecting products or equipment for use in their practices; and
  
  
• Permit manufacturers to represent that their products have been independently determined to meet certain standards or specifications.
