Virginia Beach, VA-The Optometric Society (TOS) is accepting applications for membership. TOS is an optometrist-only professional association formed by and representing the interests of optometrists throughout the United States.

TOS promotes a positive, mutually supportive relationship among the membership, the schools of optometry, residency programs, the state boards of optometry, and other optometric professional organizations by working within the profession and representing optometrists at the local, state, and national levels.

TOS believes there is a need for an organization that solely represents the interests of its member doctors. It will work closely with sister organizations to achieve common interest goals to advance both the profession and the optometrist.

TOS is a tax-exempt 501(c)(6) organization; yearly dues are $150.
