"PA" after the name of any professional person, such as an optometrist, usually stands for "Professional Association", which is a legal category, something like a corporation, that gives the professional activities of the person a legal status distinct from himself as a natural person.

PA stands for Physician's Assistant. The full title is actually PA-C, which means Physician's Assistant Certified. A PA practices medicine under the supervision of an MD (medical doctor). They have the ability to write prescriptions and a classified as "mid-level providers", much like Nurse Practitioners.

What are the initials AP after a doctors name?

If the doctor is in psychiatry it could mean either: Adolescent Psychiatrist Academy of Psychiatry But if the acronym is really PA, then it means the person isn't really a doctor at all, they are a Physician's Assistant. In many states PA's have limited prescribing privileges and can do some of the simpler diagnostic work. But they have not been to medical school, and don't have the depth or breadth of training of a real doctor, so shouldn't be referred to as doctors.
