Optometry's Fund for Disaster Relief (OFDR), a program of The AOA Foundation, has changed the lives of doctors and students by providing immediate financial relief for critical and urgent needs, such as food, clothing and shelter. In the aftermath of a disaster, OFDR can provide support to impacted doctors, helping them to continue delivering critical patient care during times of crisis. Learn about donation and grant opportunities.
The updated FTC Eyeglass Rule of 2024 went into effect on Sept. 24, 2024. The rules require doctors to obtain confirmation from a patient that the prescription was provided to the patient. In cases where the prescription is provided electronically, doctors need to obtain consent to send the prescription electronically and retain that consent. The Eyeglass Rule of 2024 mirrors the requirements of the Contact Lens Rule of 2020. The AOA has developed a toolkit to assist doctors with compliance.
