Washington, DC- The American Optometric Student Association (AOSA) and OptometryStudents.com produced a video of students and practitioners sharing their perspective on advocacy and the concerns that face the profession.

More than 250 AOSA members traveled to Washington, DC, for the American Optometric Associations’ Congressional Advocacy Conference in Washington, D.C.
