The mission of the Anterior Segment Special Interest Group (SIG) is to promote collaboration between researchers and clinicians with an interest in anterior segment disorders of the eye. Our role is to promote excellence in the care of patients with anterior segment conditions through professional education and by advancing clinical research. Our intent is to identify new questions for research as well as disseminate knowledge, not only to the fellows of the SIG, but to the entire Academy and profession of optometry.
