Abstract

This paper gives an account of the history of the Optometric Historical Society (OHS), based on material in its quarterly publication, variously named Newsletter of the Optometric Historical Society (1970-1991), Hindsight (1992-2006), and Hindsight: Journal of Optometry History (2007-present). Operated as an independent organization for many years from its founding in 1969, the OHS became a part of Optometry Cares – The AOA Foundation in 2012. In addition to its publication, now totaling more than 3,300 pages since its inception, the OHS has also held meetings referred to as Reminisce-ins or Blasts from the Past, in association with annual meetings of the American Optometric Association and the American Academy of Optometry. Officers and participants in the OHS have included many significant individuals in optometry.
