Dr. Carla Siegfried induction into AOS

Congratulations to Dr. Carla Siegfried on her induction into the American Ophthalmological society.

The American Ophthalmological Society (AOS) is a medical society of ophthalmologists and the second oldest specialty medical society in the United States. It was founded in 1864 during the Civil War as the first specialty society in this country and just thirteen years after Helmholtz invented the ophthalmoscope. The AOS membership has served to influence virtually every facet of American ophthalmology and the Society has proudly sustained its original purpose, “the advancement of ophthalmic science and art.”
