Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Utah Optometric Association. Here's a message from our President Paul Bruderer:
Thank you for your continued support of optometry in Utah. Your membership in the Utah Optometric Association (UOA) and its parent association, the American Optometric Association (AOA), helps unite optometry as a strong voice in advocating for our profession, our patients, and our future.
The mission of the board is to unite optometry in Utah, no matter the mode of practice. As “Optometry United” we can turn obstacles into opportunities.
• We can reach out to our colleagues who are no longer part of our association and tell them how much we need them and their talents.
•We can all make a difference for our profession by serving on a committee.
•We can, as a profession, educate other health care professionals on how optometrists are the primary care providers for eye health in diabetic eyecare, dye eye disease, red eyes, etc.
•We will protect the public’s eye health from those who wish to remove the eye health evaluation from an eye exam.
In short, we can be a force for the good of optometry in Utah!
I hope you will join me this year and be a part of our growing, thriving association in being innovative, protecting our patients, and making a difference!
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Bruderer,
President 2018-2019
Utah Optometric Association
