We’re so glad you’re here! The Wisconsin Paraoptometric Association (WPA) is a dedicated community of para-professionals who are passionate about advancing optometry through education, training, and connection.

As a paraoptometric, you’re more than just a team member you play a crucial role in providing quality vision care to patients of all ages. You support both your doctor and your patients, making a real difference in their eye health and overall well-being. The more you grow your skills, the greater your impact—not just in your office, but in the entire profession.

With new advancements in technology and expanding responsibilities in eye care, staying up to date is more important than ever. That’s why WPA is here to support you with regular educational events throughout the year, held across our two state districts. We’re committed to helping you develop your skills, pursue certification, and take your career to the next level.

The WPA is proudly endorsed by the Wisconsin Optometric Association (WOA), and we work closely with them to ensure you have the best resources and support available.

Becoming a WPA member means more than just professional development—it’s a chance to connect, build friendships, and be part of a community that truly understands your passion for eye care.

We’d love to have you join us. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—we’re here to help!
