New and revised OMIC resources

OMIC is privileged to work closely with an outstanding team of ophthalmologists who serve as Board and Committee members. With their assistance, we have developed and revised some OMIC resources. The resources are listed by clinical category. Please click on the link to access the document.

Some of the consent forms were developed with financial assistance from the Bruce E. Spivey, MD, Fund for Risk Management Studies, which operates within the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s H. Dunbar Hoskins Jr., MD, Center for Quality Eye Care.
