The Tennessee Academy of Ophthalmology (TNAO) Values:
• We are committed to patient safety.
• We believe that the highest standard of eye health care is best provided by a medical doctor trained in ophthalmology.
• We recognize the importance of the appropriate integration of all members of the eye care team, which includes ophthalmologists, optometrists, ophthalmic technicians and opticians.
• We will vigorously advocate for these values with legislators, regulators, payers and the public.
