Protecting the profession at the Capitol
TDOA is the only association working at the State Capitol to protect your license, your scope of practice, and your ability to serve Tennessee communities.
A voice for opticians, year-round
TDOA supports legislation that maintains a State Board of Dispensing Opticians and the licensing of dispensing opticians, and works to ensure new bills serve opticians and the consumers of Tennessee.
When rules change, TDOA responds, as it did when the Optometry Board revised its Rx rule following TDOA intervention.
