​

The Redwood Empire Optometric Society is a community of optometrists dedicated to helping promote the profession and provide its members with many resources and support. Optometry is a legislative profession. As members of the California Optometric Association, we play a key role in forming the direction of eye care. The COA was instrumental in increasing the scope of practice for optometrists to include treating glaucoma as well as removing restrictions on certain procedures.  

 

In order to protect, preserve, and expand the profession of optometry, we require strength in numbers. That is why we have the California Optometric Association.  Our society is making a call to all optometrists who practice to join together to make a difference in the profession of optometry.
