The Australian Society of Ophthalmologists (ASO) is the peak professional body for ophthalmologists and was formed in 1982 with the aim of representing the medico-political interests of ophthalmologists within Australia.
A joint initiative between the ASO and the Commonwealth Government is the Indigenous and Remote Eye Health Service (IRIS). Established mid-2010, the IRIS program aims to deliver a national approach to the delivery of eye health services in rural and remote communities of Australia.
