Dr. Thomas Acers

Benefiting Ophthalmology, Resident, and Fellow Education

The Acers Society was established by the alumni of the University of Oklahoma Department of Ophthalmology in the spring of 2004 in recognition of its first full-time chair, Dr. Thomas E. Acers. The Society exists to support ophthalmology resident and fellow education of the highest quality. Proper training and supervised clinical experience of tomorrow’s ophthalmologists will best serve both patients and the profession. Members of the Acers Society share this commitment.

Membership in the Acers Society is open to graduates of the ophthalmology program at the University of Oklahoma as well as interested supporters of the program.
