Practice Continuity Program
The AOA Center for Independent Practice has created this Practice Continuity Program to assist AOA members whose successful practices might not stay open if the doctor retires. The goal is to find a suitable doctor for the practice who will maintain access to eyecare and AOA membership in the community.
One practice continuity option for doctors is to use an outside consultant to assist with preparing a practice for sale and finding a suitable buyer. The following companies will provide a substantial discount to AOA members referred by the Center for Independent Practice. Please complete the referral request form below for either or both companies. Contact Madison Lamp if you have questions.
