Our professional association, The New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians (NJSOP), represents seven hundred of the state's optometric physicians. Our members serve patients in every community within the state from their private offices and from medical centers. We believe that vision is the dominant sense so essential to lifelong learning and productivity.
Our members are prepared to diagnose and treat ocular disease, eye injury, infection, inflammation, and allergy and can coordinate care with primary care physicians and surgeons. Optometric physicians participate in vision care plans, major health insurance plans and Medicare. We are positioned to meet your eye health and vision care needs for a lifetime!

Their first objective was to secure legislation to legalize optometry in New Jersey. With the legalization of the optometric practice in New Jersey, the society changed its name to the New Jersey Optometric Society and membership was limited to licensed optometrists. A nucleus of professionally oriented practitioners recognized early in history the necessity to acquaint the public with the eminent qualifications of O.D.s to render proper eyecare.
