The American Society of Ophthalmic Trauma 2022 Annual Meeting, Sat, Jun 4th, 2022 @ 9:30 AM AJI Media

Become an ASOT Member

The American Society of Ophthalmic Trauma (ASOT) was founded in 2020 to become a central leader in improving all aspects of national ophthalmic trauma care. Working intimately with other multidisciplinary trauma systems, organizations, and representatives from both ocular and non-ocular specialty communities, ASOT will address needs of the spectrum of constituents within the pre-ophthalmic and ophthalmic zones of care, from patients to non-ophthalmic providers to ophthalmic specialists and subspecialists. ASOT will use evidence-based research to formulate and disseminate practice guidance and recommendations and to influence trauma policy and systems of care. Specific areas of interest include prevention and early recognition of eye and vision injuries at home, in sports, and in the workplace; the development of ophthalmic trauma systems; and innovative uses of telehealth for rapid expert consultation, triage and management of ophthalmic injury.
