 Distinguished Service Award

The Oklahoma Association of Optometric Physicians’ Distinguished Service Award recognizes an individual doctor of optometry who has distinguished himself/herself within the profession for unusually significant contributions and outstanding achievements contributing to the advancement of the profession of optometry.  It recognizes long-term dedication rather than a single contribution.
