Before creating a new AOA account, it is important to confirm that you do not already have an existing account - as one might exist even if you may not be aware of it. Creating a duplicate account may cause issues with site content access, CE, pricing, event registration and your overall user experience. 

You May Already Have an AOA Account

If any one of the following applies to you, you likely already have an AOA account:

• You are a current AOA member or AOA/AOSA student member.
• You are a former AOA member.
• You regularly receive communications from the AOA.
• You have attended Optometry’s Meeting®.
• You have participated in continuing education (CE) on EyeLearn, the AOA’s professional development hub.

If you are a current or former AOA member, do not create a new account.
