Optometry Day at the Statehouse

Optometry Day at the Statehouse (ODASH) is an essential component of the Ohio Optometric Association’s advocacy strategy to protect, advance and modernize the profession.

ODASH is an annual gathering of OOA members in Columbus to meet with their elected officials in the Ohio General Assembly. The purpose of each meeting is to discuss the issues most important to the profession, advocate for specific bills, and ensure legislators understand the scope of their work.
