2026 Calendar of Eye and Vision Observances
Promote the importance of regular optometric eye and vision care by participating in some or all of the observances listed. Please note, this list is not necessarily exhaustive but provides an abbreviated list of those in alignment with AOA outreach and positions.
Monthly social media calendar
Use the monthly social media calendar to easily plan and schedule content in advance. Every month, the AOA will update the calendar to include social posts, images and customizable content that coincides with AOA’s own activities. We ask all partners to organically post on their social channels each month.
Public education and campaign materials
Available for your use are customizable news releases, social media posts, infographics and other campaign resources that cover a number of vision and eye-health-related topics. Not only are these tools useful to educate your patients and the public, but they provide an opportunity for you to market your practice and services to your community.
Also available are PowerPoint presentations that can be used for health events, school meetings and other assemblies.
