The only state association working for every optician in Tennessee
Education, advocacy, and licensing support for dispensing opticians across the state.
The Tennessee Dispensing Opticians Association is the only state association working on behalf of all opticians in Tennessee.
We are the only education provider in the state to support legislation that maintains a State Board of Dispensing Opticians and the licensing of dispensing opticians.
We are the only education provider to spend money maintaining a lobbyist who monitors the legislature, working to ensure that any new bills introduced are for the good of opticians and the consumers of Tennessee.
