If you would like to set up monthly or quarterly recurring contributions
to MOAPAC, contact the MOA at (517) 482-0616.

Your support helps to solidify strong relationships and critical access to elected officials, and helps your MOA address important regulatory initiatives including:

  • Fighting online contact lens sellers from upending hard-fought eye care consumer protection laws in Michigan
  • Protecting and advancing the scope of practice for Michigan ODs
  • Defending against changes that would tax eye examinations that result in a sale
  • Aligning contact lens sales and monitor Not A Doctor legislation in Michigan
  • Providing key input on regulatory rule changes impacting optometry licensure
  • Supporting local events that connect ODs and their lawmakers in-district
  • Advocating for comprehensive vision exams for kids
  • Voicing optometry’s position on small business concerns
  • And so much more!

Legislative advocacy and regulatory success is achieved with support from MOA members.



Like MOAPAC, AOAPAC works tirelessly to support candidates seeking federal office who understand the legislative issues facing optometry. Because the composition of the U.S. Congress changes frequently, AOAPAC's role must be a continuing one.
