The OAOP is proud to celebrate our Fourth Annual Giving Sight Day later this month, when optometrists across the state offer free vision screenings to Oklahomans in-need. See the list of participating clinics as well as days of operation here: ow.ly/JMe750PLILb

Good news in my inbox: On Oct. 3, several #optometrists in Oklahoma will be offering #free eye exams as part of @OkOptos' #GivingSightDay. Vision care is hard to access for many folks, yet it's critical to get driver's licenses, jobs, etc. Locations here: oklahoma.aoa.org/patients-an…
Lawmakers should spend less time trying to please corporate interests like Walmart and more time listening to their constituents, who voted NO on this issue! "New Bill Would Undermine Statewide Vote To Put Eye Doctors In Stores" news9.com/story/40071016/new…
Lawmakers supporting SB 902 are working in opposition to the will of the people and their own constituents. Voters have spoken. Walmart’s money and corporate influence shouldn’t be allowed to reverse the results of an election. tulsaworld.com/news/rejected… via @tulsaworld

Hey Oklahoma... If SQ 793 passes, we'll be the 1st state to give a corporation the legal power to limit how doctors practice within their trained field. #Vote AGAINST giving a mega retail corporation this kind of legal power! Vote NO!

Vote NO on State Question 793. Like & Share if you don't want out-of-state corporations re-writing our Constitution. #PatientsFirst #No793
“The Oklahoma Osteopathic Association (OOA) has announced opposition to State Question 793, a November ballot initiative that would result in a state constitutional change for the practice of optometry.” ow.ly/2Uzq30mgNTn

Because of the potential closure of private practices, SQ 793 would make it more difficult, especially for Oklahomans in rural areas, to receive the eye care they need with access to fewer optometric offices.

The @OK_AFL_CIO of Oklahoma is opposing #SQ793, citing unfair and unethical treatment of workers at Walmart and a corporate culture that cannot support responsible medical care. Read more here: no793.com/single-post/2018/0…

State Question 793 is not just about cheaper glasses. It will allow big business to control a medical profession, sell lower-end products, and will ultimately lower the quality of eye care in Oklahoma. #No793

Oklahoma has consistently maintained high vision health because it has some of the strongest laws in the country to encourage safe, reliable and cost-effective vision care. Why change these laws to accommodate big business such as Walmart? #No793
A Walmart-backed political group announced today it has enough signatures to place SQ 793 on the November ballot. Thank you to all of the volunteers who came to the Capitol to explain why healthcare in Oklahoma would be negatively effected by this change. ow.ly/iuOv30kaoId

State Question 793 is trying to amend Oklahoma’s state Constitution to take optometric physicians out of medical clinics and put them in Walmart stores. This would let big business control medical care instead of trained, professional physicians. Vote “NO” on 793. #No793

Oklahoma’s current laws protect patient health and promote quality vision care. We shouldn’t sacrifice health in order to promote Walmart's agenda. #NoOn793

SQ793 is about corporate greed and profits, not helping Oklahomans. Don't put your name on a petition that serves Walmart at the expense of good health care. Learn more here: no793.com/ #NoOn793

SQ793 isn't about cheap eye glasses, it's about corporate greed. If it passes, Oklahoma will be the ONLY place in the country where Walmart and big retailers have written their business model into a state Constitution. #NoOn793
Going to tomorrow's Vision Summit, hosted by @OAOP? Come find us! We'll be there taking video testimonials w/eye care professionals about why they are saying #NoOn793. We are also handing out t-shirts, push-cards and posters and more during Friday's noon business meeting!
