South Carolina Society of Ophthalmology

The mission of the South Carolina Society of Ophthalmology is to serve the best interests of the people of this great state by delivering the highest quality of total eye care and serving the overall medical needs of the citizens. We are dedicated to serving the patients and the public through public and professional education, staunch legislative advocacy and extensive membership services.

The South Carolina Society of Ophthalmology is focused on and dedicated to guaranteeing the rights of the public of this state to the direct access to the eye, visual health and overall medical care of an ophthalmologist licensed in South Carolina. As you visit the SCSO web site and other public sources, we strongly URGE and INVITE you to learn more about the extensive medical school education and specialized medical training of an ophthalmologist (EYE-MD) in our delivery of vision, medical and surgical eye care.

We hope by doing so you will develop a better understanding and appreciation as to why the ophthalmologist (EYE-MD) is truly the most highly educated and medically trained provider of routine eye examinations as well as medical or surgical care for eye diseases or elective surgical procedures.
