First Class Medicine
Practicing our profession in a spirit of love
Founder, J. Lawton Smith never actually used the phrase "practicing first class medicine in a spirit of love", however this represents what he shared with his fellows. Striving for excellence in all things we do is important in a precise field like ophthalmology. It becomes even more important to bring glory to the one who gives us our gifts . . .

Servant Eye Care
Following the greatest example
Matthew 20:34 states that "Jesus touched their eyes and had compassion on them. Immediately they received their sight and followed him." Our eyesight is so precious that the process of restoring it has the power to change lives. The bar is set high here for eye care providers certainly . . .

We are passionate about Sight and Light
We believe all ophthalmologists should work hand in hand with God. For vision to occur, one needs sight and light.While ophthalmologists work on the first part, if God were to turn out the light, we're all without a job!

BiMonthly "Share the Light" Virtual Bible Study for Ophthalmologists
- Details
The new COS Share the Light Bible Study Group for Ophthalmologists will meet again on Sunday, March 10th at 7:30 PM and every other Sunday night. This study will feature both COS staff members and ophthalmologists from the US and around the world. Join us on an upcoming date to be challenged, blessed and more!
Studying God’s word is fundamental to a strong walk with Jesus and yet, if you’re like many of us, we can easily go a week without glancing at God’s word. It helps when you are involved in a small group -- it’s enjoyable and can be more fruitful when there is good conversation about God’s word.
Ophthalmologists along with COS staff members will be leading us throughout the year.
Jeff Colquhoun is from the great state of Michigan and has an inspiring story of his battle with cancer. For our March study, he will talk to us about "Being the Light of Christ."
Upcoming dates and times for the study are:
3/10 at 7:30 pm EST - Jeff Colquhoun - “Being the Light of Christ to Our Youth"
3/24 at 7:30 pm EST - Jeff Colquhoun - “Being the Light of Christ to the Elderly"
