OPAC: Protecting the Future of Eye Care in New Jersey
Your Profession. Your Patients. Your Voice in Trenton.
The New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology’s Political Action Committee (OPAC) is the most effective tool we have to protect the standard of medical and surgical eye care. Every year, legislative proposals are introduced that directly impact how you practice medicine and how your patients receive care.
Why Give to OPAC?
Legislators aren’t eye experts—you are. Your generous contribution allows OPAC to:
-
Educate Decision-Makers: We ensure that State Senators and Assembly members understand the complexity of ophthalmic surgery and medical eye care.
-
Support Physician-Friendly Candidates: We help elect leaders who value the MD/DO-led medical team and patient safety.
-
Defeat Dangerous Legislation: From scope-of-practice expansions to burdensome administrative mandates, OPAC is your first line of defense.
