The American Society of Ophthalmic Trauma (ASOT).[1] is a professional medical association founded in 2020 to advance the science and practice of ophthalmic traumatology.
History and Mission
[edit]There is a long history of individuals and organizations dedicated to the advancement of ophthalmic trauma, most prominent of which are Ferenc Kuhn, MD, PhD[2], who developed the gold standard in ocular trauma classification, the Birmingham Eye Terminology[3],ref>https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaophthalmology/fullarticle/2794495</ref> and was a lead in the development of the Ocular Trauma Score[4], military ophthalmologist Robert A. Mazzoli, MD, FACS, Col (retired) US Army and Francis G. La Piana, MD, FACS, Col (retired) MC, US Army, who together advanced the field of military ophthalmic trauma care from Vietnam up until present times.
Multiple international ophthalmic trauma organizations are in existence including International Society of Ocular Trauma (ISOT)[5] and the Asia Pacific Society of Ophthalmic Trauma (APOTS)[6]. The American Society of Ocular Trauma was founded in 1988 but unfortunately became inactive in 2013[7]. In 2018, in response to an ongoing and rising tide of interest in organizing ophthalmic trauma, the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) formed the Ocular Trauma Group, which reflecting its expanding agenda, incorporated as an independent society, the ASOT[8] in February, 2020.
The ASOT mission is to advance the science of eye trauma prevention and management through education of doctors, first responders, and the general public, develop national eye trauma policy, prepare eye care during disasters, advance evidence-based research in eye trauma, and coordinate efforts in these areas with other professional organizations, the United States military, and government agencies.
The organization has made significant strides in advancing the field of eye trauma. The nascent AAO Eye Trauma Group collaborated with the Ophthalmic Mutual Insurance Company to craft online informed consent templates for ophthalmic trauma surgery[9]. Working closely with the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the ASOT has created online continuing medical education courses [10], [11], established and maintains an ophthalmic trauma section in EyeWiki (the online eye resource for ophthalmologists) which now contains 76ophthalmic trauma-related articles[12], cosponsored an online eye trauma journal club[13],and presented instruction courses and symposia at the Annual Meetings of the AAO[14], including a sports eye injury symposium in 2023[15]. Along with the AAO, the ASOT has issued press releases to the public regarding prevention of eye injury[16]. In 2022-2023, the ASOT cosponsored the four part online International Symposium: Wartime Ophthalmic Trauma for the Ukraine [17]. The ASOT participates in the International Globe and Adnexal Trauma Epidemiology Study (IGATES) is a collaborative effort including the Asia Pacific Ophthalmic Trauma Society (APOTS), International Society of Ocular Trauma (ISOT), Chinese Ocular Trauma Society (COTS), Ocular Trauma Society of India (OTSI), PAN American Association of Ocular Trauma, and the All India Ophthalmological Society. [18]. The ASOT produces a periodic ophthalmic trauma newsletter [19]. The ASOT has been featured on EyeTea.com podcast discussion[20].
Current initiatives include working with the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP)to include in their 2025 update of the NAEMSP Recommended Essential Equipment for Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support Ground Ambulances 2020: A Joint Position Statement [21] a recommendation to include rigid eye shields in every ambulance in the United States and to train emergency medical service personnel on their proper use in eye trauma. The ASOT is working with the United States Health and Human Services Administration for Preparedness and Response (ASPR)[22] to formally organize disaster eye care, including organization and training of volunteer ophthalmologists in the ASPR Medical Reserve Corps[23] and National Disaster Medical Service[24], inclusion of eye supplies in the Strategic national Stockpile[25], and development of a nationwide speaker miniseries for ASPR[26]. The ASOT is working with the United States Military Department of Defense/United Kingdom Joint Ocular Trauma Task Group to develop a consensus on clinical ocular injury guidelines, standardized eye trauma surgery kits for forward field medical units, uniform medication supply lists, and improved guidelines for treating visual dysfunction after Traumatic Brain Injury [27]. Recognizing that the civilian and and military ophthalmic trauma communities have much to learn from each other, ASOT is closely working with the United States military to ensure ophthalmologic trauma surgery competency in military ophthalmologists. The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, AAO, and ASOT are working to establish a robust and coordinated National Ocular Trauma System that integrates into the proposed United States Trauma System[28], coordinating eye care after natural disaster and terrorist attack planning with the four military Regional Ocular Trauma Center Military Treatment Facilities [29] mandated by the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act.
The ASOT holds an annual two day meeting which includes trauma lectures, case presentations, and a surgical wet labfor eye trauma[30]. At their annual meetings, the ASOT bestows awards to leaders in ophthalmic trauma:
