The American Society-Ophthalmic (ASOA) is a professional organization based in Fairfax, VA, dedicated to empowering anterior segment surgeons to enhance the vision, outcomes, and quality of life for their patients through innovative approaches to education, advocacy, and philanthropy. ASOA offers a wide range of clinical education resources, including topics such as astigmatism, cataract, cornea, glaucoma, IOL calculations, practice management, presbyopia, and refractive and retinal conditions. They also provide various tools and calculators for ophthalmic professionals to assist in their practice management and decision-making processes.
In addition to their educational resources, ASOA organizes annual meetings, webinars, and other continuing medical education activities to facilitate knowledge sharing and professional development. They also advocate for the interests of ophthalmic surgeons, provide policy positions, and offer updates on industry news and Medicare reimbursement. The ASOA Foundation, their philanthropic arm, supports initiatives like Operation Sight, a charitable cataract surgery program that aims to restore vision and hope in communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Donations to the ASCRS Foundation can be made online, by mail, or by phone.
