The MSO offers members many different dues classifications. Members within the first 10 years of original licensure receive a discounted rate. In addition, the MSO offers partial-practice dues discounts to optometrists who may not practice full-time.
It should be noted that the MSO sends a portion of your dues to the American Optometric Association (AOA). So, by becoming an MSO member, you are also an AOA member as well.
