What is an Ophthalmologist?
Know Who is Taking Care of Your Eyes

Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians all play an important role in providing eye care services. However, each group has different levels of training and expertise; you should be sure you are seeing the right provider for your condition or treatment.

President's Message
Anastasios P. Costarides, MD, PhD
The Georgia Society of Ophthalmology (GSO) is the only statewide organization representing Georgia ophthalmologists and their patients. The GSO's activities include legislative advocacy, continuing medical education for ophthalmologists, and public education about important eye health care concerns.
An Invitation To You
As you visit the GSO web site, we invite you to learn more about the special training and expertise of an ophthalmologist in the delivery of medical and surgical eye care. The comprehensive ophthalmologist is truly the most highly trained provider of routine eye examinations and all refractive services, including eyeglasses and contact lenses and corrective corneal surgery, as well as medical or surgical care for eye disease. Vision is precious to all of us, and Georgia's ophthalmologists are dedicated to providing the best possible care for this most valuable sense.
