OGS Mission Statement
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.
