Welcome to the New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians!
Dr. David Kong - NJSOP President
Our professional association, The New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians (NJSOP), represents approximately 654 optometric physician members and approximately 140 optometry student members. We also proudly support our doctors' paraoptometric staff who contribute to the profession of optometry, patients and the public. Our practicing licensed optometrist members serve patients in every community within the state and in all practice modalities, including private offices as well as retail settings.
We believe vision is our most dominant sense, which is so essential to lifelong learning and productivity. It is never too early to confirm having adequate visual skills -- ideally, one's first eye exam should occur before starting school. Our members are also prepared to diagnose and treat ocular disease, eye injury, infection, inflammation, and allergy and can coordinate care with primary care physicians and surgeons. Optometric physicians participate in vision care plans, major health insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare. We are positioned to meet your eye health and vision care needs for a lifetime!
