Optometry Divas® was founded in 2015 with a clear mission: to Empower, Connect, and Promote the success of women Optometrists. We do this primarily by hosting educational events for our doctors. We have 4 local chapter events per year and one annual conference. Since our inception, we’ve grown from a dream into a network of over 7,500 women Optometrists including members and connections on our social media platforms—and we’re just getting started.

As Industry innovators, manufactures and service providers, it is crucial to your success to connect and network with Optometrists. You need to partner with a network that can give you opportunities to promote your products and services to the fastest growing segment in Optometry – Women!

In addition to our passion for our mission, we are determined to connect our network to innovative products, tools and resources that will help them succeed as clinicians and as business owners.

Here are a few key reasons why vendors will benefit from partnering with us:

Positioning – There is a gender shift in Optometry. According to the 2016 Women in Optometry (WO) Analysis, there are 48,742 ODs in practice. Forty Two percent of those doctors are women. Since 2012 there has been a 24.8 percent increase in the number of women ODs. By 2024, the number of women ODs is estimated to increase to 50%. As the 1^st organization founded by women ODs for Women ODs, we are well positioned to capitalize on this growth. When you partner with us, you will have direct access to this captured audience.

Leadership Training – Our CEO of YOU® Leadership Academy is training our members to become industry thought leaders, influencers, and decisions makers. When you sponsor our events, you are promoting your brand and products to current and future decisions makers.

National Presence – Out network is growing across the country. Our vision is to establish a chapter in every major city in the US. We plan to add 26 chapters by 2025, to raise our network to over 10,000 members and connections.
