The American Optometric Association is now accepting submissions for the 2015 National Optometry Hall of Fame.

Optometry Cares, which administers the National Optometry Hall of Fame, will induct two optometrists this year. In a press release, the AOA announced that two categories have been formed – one category for optometrists in the academic field and one for optometrists in private practice or federal service.

According to the release, nominations are considered for 4 consecutive years. Optometrists who were nominated for the 2014 AOA Distinguished Service Award will also be considered for the 2015 National Optometry Hall of Fame.

Nomination forms and criteria are available online. The deadline for online submission is Jan. 15.

As detailed in the release, inductees will be honored at Optometry's Meeting in June 2015, which will be held in Seattle.
