We’re the Oculofacial Society

We are a group of board-certified ophthalmologists: doctors who specialize in the eyes, eye sockets, tear duct system, and face. We’re also microsurgeons recognized by our medical colleagues as experts in our subspecialty.

What it takes

In addition to the education and training required of all physicians who are board-certified in ophthalmology, our members must go further. They’re required to pass exams, conduct original research, compose an original thesis, and train in two-year fellowships overseen by members of the Society.

 

Our mission is to advance education, research, and the quality of clinical practice in the fields of aesthetic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery specializing in the face, orbits (eye sockets), eyelids, and lacrimal system (tear system).

Five decades and counting

Founded in Chicago in 1969 around a shared interest in professional development and envelope-pushing discovery, the Oculofacial Society has grown to include more than 870 members in 30 countries. The Society has helped to establish the oculofacial subspecialty in North America and around the world. Through educational initiatives and spearheading socio-economic activism, we’ve helped to centralize, organize, and expand knowledge—advancing the art and science of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery.

A bright future ahead.

YASOPRS (Young ASOPRS) is a group within ASOPRS—or, to use its patient-facing name, the Oculofacial Society—for members who completed their fellowship training within the past eight years. Its mission and purpose is to support these young professionals through education focused on early-career work and practice-building. The group also aims to engage with the broader Society as a sub-community and to serve as a social hub for its young members.
