You work to protect your patients…We work to protect you.

As an optometrist, you probably know better than almost anyone else how quickly a disability can strike and not only delay your dreams, but also leave you unable to provide for your family. Whether it is cancer, a stroke, a car accident or a fall off a ladder, any of these things can affect your ability to earn a living at your profession.

That’s why the California Optometric Association sponsors a Group Long-Term Disability program underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company that includes:

• A policy that isn’t tied to a practice, giving you more flexibility with potential career changes
• Benefit payments that are 100% TAX-FREE — when you pay premiums yourself
• High monthly benefits up to $10,000
• Protection in your specialty as an optometrist for the first 10 years of disability

With this critical protection, you’ll have one less thing to worry about until you return to work.
