About Us
The Optometric Glaucoma Society is an organization composed of optometrists, ophthalmologists and scientists who have made substantial contributions to glaucoma, either in the clinical, educational or research space.
The Optometric Glaucoma Society (OGS) mission is to promote excellence in care of glaucoma patients through professional education and scientific investigation. The society’s major objectives are to promote education of optometrists related to all aspects of glaucoma; promote the acquisition of new knowledge about glaucoma, in part through the development of glaucoma research within optometry; facilitate the dissemination of information about glaucoma to health–‐care providers and the public; and establish collaborative relationship with other related organizations.
More than 3 million Americans have glaucoma. By 2050, that number is expected to rise to 6.3 million.
Optometric involvement in glaucoma care is essential for early detection, continuous monitoring, accessibility, holistic eye care, and patient education, allowing for a high quality of care and potentially preventing vision loss.
