United Opticians Association

OUR MISSION:
Our mission is to support, promote, and advance the profession through education, credentialing, and advocacy.

OUR HISTORY:
Opticianry is a longstanding and noble field of practice—one, in fact, that dates back as far as the mid-1300s.

The United Opticians Association is a well-established and integral part of that legacy. Established in 1925 as the Guild of Prescription Opticians, the UOA holds the distinguished honor of being the only national organization representing the professional, business, educational, legislative and regulatory interests of opticianry.

For over 90 years, the UOA has been dedicated to the advancement of the American optician.
