What is ASOPRS?
The American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) is the main organizing entity for the field of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Membership in ASOPRS is restricted to ophthalmologists who are board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, completed an approved fellowship training program and who have also passed rigorous tests. Approximately 20 surgeons train per year in this specialized field. Following completion of training, surgeons must write a thesis research paper and pass written and oral examinations in order to be invited to become a member of ASOPRS.
