The Tennessee Eye Surgeons is a state association for ophthalmologists (eye physicians and surgeons). Ophthalmologists are medical and osteopathic physicians who provide comprehensive eye care, including medical, surgical and optical care. Ophthalmologists have completed medical school, an internship and completed three years of residency; and many, if not most, go on to do a specialized one to two year fellowship. By the time an ophthalmologist has finished training, he or she has over 17,000 hours of experience.
The mission of the Tennessee Eye Surgeons is to advocate for the best possible eye health care for Tennesseans, serve the professional needs of ophthalmologists through legislative advocacy and member services, and assure the public’s direct access to medical doctors trained in ophthalmology.
If you are a Tennessee ophthalmologist, we hope you will consider becoming a paying member of Tennessee Eye Surgeons! You will join over 150 members statewide speaking with one voice for ophthalmologists across Tennessee. We work tirelessly to promote the practice of ophthalmology and to advocate for the profession before both state and national elected leaders. We also provide valuable programming that provides you and your team--physicians, office staff, and techs--with the tools you need to provide world-class healthcare to Tennessee patients.
