On behalf of the Board of Directors, along with the International Committee, it is with great excitement that we welcome OVDRA South East Asia ( SEA ) as our first official regional affiliate ( RA’s).
Regional Affiliates were created to support and enhance collaboration through global communities for like-minded professionals to step forward our shared mission: improving lives by advancing excellence in developmental and rehabilitative neuro-optometric vision care through education and board certification in a regional context.
The successful establishment of OVDRA SEA reflects the growing recognition of the vital role of optometric vision therapy globally and strengthens the opportunities for education, knowledge sharing, and interdisciplinary co-management
to elevate standards of care and broaden access.
We continue to look forward to more growth through shared purpose through OVDRA SEA and beyond.
