American Optometric Student Association

You’ve registered for Optometry’s Meeting, now what? 🤔  

Everyone who registered by 3/31 received an email containing two important pieces of info. 📋

There is a link to fill out a W-9 (or W-8 for non-US citizens), and this ensures  your travel grant ends up in the right place! 💵  

There is also a link to complete the AOAExcel® Resource Rundown—a brief, guided introduction to your AOAExcel benefits that are designed to support you as you begin your career as a future OD 👓  

Make sure you check your spam folders for this email (and mark all emails from [email protected] safe)!  

Complete both of these tasks by May 11th to ensure your travel grant arrives ASAP after OM! ✅  

Reach out to your chapters’ Trustees if you have any questions ⭐️

💡 Did you know that babies are recommended to have their first eye exam from 6-12 months old? 
 
👓 InfantSEE is a program managed by the Optometry Cares – The AOA Foundation. InfantSEE providers can give babies 6-12 months a free eye screening! These screenings can catch vision or eye health problems that may be missed otherwise. Early intervention is crucial and ensures babies will get the support they need as they grow.  
 
Check out how AOA members examine these babies! 👶  
 
Friday, June 19th | 8am,9am, and 10am 📍 Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix, Arizona (at Optometry’s Meeting 2026)
