Advancing excellence in ophthalmology through board certification since 1916.
About us
For more than 100 years, the American Board of Ophthalmology has been an independent advocate for excellence in eye and vision care. Certification by the American Board of Ophthalmology helps physicians demonstrate to patients and peers a high level of knowledge, skills, and experience in their profession. Since 1916, more than 30,000 ophthalmologists in the United States have voluntarily sought the distinction of board certification--driven by professional pride and a passion for practicing better medicine. The Board's strategic priorities and professional standards are established by physician-directors who hail from hospitals, clinics, and private practices around the country. They are assisted by three public directors who represent the patient voice. The standards and assessments that are the foundation of Board Certification are developed by a volunteer network of more than 600 distinguished subject matter experts in comprehensive and subspecialty areas of ophthalmology.

The inspirational story of board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Ming Wang, MD, PhD (laser physics) is featured in the new movie, "Sight," which opened in theaters on May 24. The film is based on Dr. Wang's autobiography, From Darkness to Sight, which follows his journey from Chinese immigrant to renowned eye surgeon. Dr. Wang's alma mater, the University of Maryland, spoke with him about the movie and his career: “‘Sight’ is about encouraging all of us to see beyond the challenges we face in life,” said Wang, who was on set during the filming of the movie. “I hope to encourage and inspire Asian American immigrants to stand up, speak up, and tell our stories.” https://lnkd.in/e5ATZvQk #ophthalmology #ophthalmologist #boardcertified #sight #eyesurgeon
