OPTOMETRY’S MEETING® 3 JUNE 15-18, 2022 | Chicago, Illinois
Dear Colleagues,
This is happening. It’s a new year and we hope that you are as excited as the American Optometric
Association (AOA) and the American Optometric Student Association (AOSA) are to embark on new
adventures with a refreshed purpose. We are energized and eager to come together in the great American
city, Chicago, to advance the great profession of optometry!
Optometry’s Meeting®, the 125th Annual AOA Congress and 54th Annual AOSA Conference, welcomes back
friends and colleagues June 15-18 in Chicago, IL, where world-class education, networking and business
opportunities will intersect in one unforgettable experience.
For the last two years, doctors, paraoptometric professionals and students have advanced despite the
COVID-19 public health crisis. We have made significant progress in advocating for optometry’s priorities at
the Federal and state levels, increasing awareness of our profession across national audiences and providing
the resources members need.
Now, we are poised for greater opportunities. Optometry’s Meeting will deliver world-class learning,
networking and business solutions that will power your practice and patient health. From courses offering
office-based surgical content to practical guidance on everything from building a medical contact lens
practice to preparing financially for any stage of your career, Optometry’s Meeting 2022 is packed with
discovery, interdisciplinary collaboration and experiential opportunities.
So come join us in Chicago – home to world-renowned museums, restaurants, cityscapes and adventures
– and experience the exceptional continuing education (CE) and professional development, as well as the
distinguished networking opportunities that attendees have come to expect.
CONNECTING
Start off the meeting at the AOA awards ceremony and opening presentation at McCormick Place, followed
by an opening reception at Chicago’s iconic Museum of Science and Industry. Then, from interactive
and collaborative education to our Exhibit Hall packed with colleagues, vendors and industry partners
to events throughout the meeting, you have countless opportunities to network. We will close out the
meeting together with a true taste of Chicago with great city-inspired music, activities and food during the
Celebration of Optometry.
ADVANCING
Join your colleagues in nearly 150 CE and professional development courses—over 200 hours’ worth of
credits for doctors, students and paraoptometrics—in topics ranging from contemporary surgical and
laser procedures to systemic diseases, functional vision, billing and coding, and more. And enjoy the
experiential CE, including a river boat excursion down the Chicago River or a Second City Comedy Club
workshop. Students will also have access to expanded AOA+ events, including pop-up learning sessions and
Leadership Link opportunities.
This is an Optometry’s Meeting you won’t want to miss. We look forward to seeing you in June!

CONTINUING EDUCATION AND
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The AOA continues to foster the development
of paraoptometrics and the necessary skills they
bring to support the practice of optometry. The
paraoptometric courses offered at Optometry’s
Meeting are accredited by the Commission on
Paraoptometric Certification and the AOA. Topics
for these courses include office-based surgical
procedures, billing and coding, customer service and
patient education, and pediatric care.
FOUNDATIONAL COURSES
Introductory courses serve to help new doctors
develop best practices for their patient care. These
foundational courses provide a strong base in
coding and billing, practice management, starting a
private practice and financial planning as it relates to
practice growth and success.

SURGICAL SATURDAY
Office-based surgical procedures are a part of the
essential, medical eye care services that optometry
delivers to patients nationwide. Come find actionable
education with a Saturday schedule highlighting
courses in pathology, diagnosis, treatment
protocols, surgical procedures, suturing, injections
and the necessary coding and billing reporting.
Take advantage of this team-learning opportunity
with courses available for both doctors and
paraoptometrics.
INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTENT AND
CO-MANAGEMENT
As frontline, primary eye care providers, doctors of
optometry collaborate and co-manage with an array
of medical disciplines to ensure the best possible
care for their patients. Attend this series of courses as
we go deeper into the interdisciplinary relationships
and learn the perspective of those medical
providers with whom you routinely engage, from
endocrinology and neurology to internal medicine
and pediatrics.
PRACTICE MANAGEMENT AND GROWTH
The recent public health crisis demonstrated how
business and financial management knowledge is
even more essential to securing the growth of our
optometric profession. Courses covering topics
related to marketing and social media, coding
and billing compliance, expanding services and
procedures, and recognizing unintentional bias in the

RETURN OF CEE/TQ EDUCATION
AOA is pleased to announce the return of Continuing
Education Examination/Transcript Quality (CEE/TQ)
credit. This year we will be offering 22 hours of CEE
credit. Additional details on claiming these credits
will be available through the Optometry’s Meeting
app and on-site from the CE Office.
STUDENT-RECOMMENDED COURSES
This year’s Optometry’s Meeting is a first for many
students; with this in mind, the course grid highlights
several suggested course offerings students may
find beneficial. These courses, which are identified
with the AOSA logo, represent a broad variety of
foundational topics that support the practice of
contemporary optometry.
AOA LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE PROGRAM
The AOA Leadership Institute program was
developed by the AOA Leadership Development
Committee to inspire the next generation of
AOA CREDIT leaders within the AOA and its affiliates. The AOA
As an organization that emphasizes both Leadership Institute is a 12-month program with
formal CE along with year-long professional virtual components throughout the year as well as

Meeting. Attendees will note that not all
courses will carry AOA credit, as some courses
will continue to qualify for COPE credit. It is
advised that attendees verify their state board
requirements prior to selecting courses to
attend. This change to AOA credit expands
the concept of what CE looks like while still
maintaining high standards for education. We
hope this encourages attendees to attend
courses of interest that may be quite different
from the traditional courses they find at
meetings throughout the year.
