“It’s about having access to other peers so you don’t feel like you’re on an island by yourself. You’re not isolated. You are a group of professionals who, at the end of the day, want each other to do better.”
“PECAA has been a tremendous help for me growing my practice from day one. My most valued PECAA Max membership benefit is the business advisory team. I have had Bryan help me with my business by the numbers, I have had Kayla help me with my optical, I have also had Shelby help me market my practice, which has been very impactful in building my patient base.”
“When I got my first rebate check, I couldn’t believe that my rebate check was more than my membership fee and that PECAA actually pays me to be a member. PECAA gives me discounts and rebates that increase my profitability.”
PECAA was founded by optometrists with deep roots in eye care and a firsthand understanding of the complex business challenges private practice ovvners face. Our mission is to turn those challenges into opportunities and unite the private practice eye care community, creating a dynamic network that PECAA members credit as a key part of their success.
PECAA is an active supporter of professional organizations dedicated to advancing the eye care profession. We are pleased to sponsor 22 professional organizations across the county and value the opportunity to work with these dedicated groups and their members.
To empower positive change at the local level in communities in the U.S. and across the world, PECAA enables members to make monetary donations through Growing Through Giving and PECAA Gives.
