Geoffrey Cooper, MD, FACS, a specialist in comprehensive ophthalmology, has been named President-elect of the Virginia Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons (VSEPS). Dr. Cooper will ascend to the Presidency in June, following a two-year term by Alan L. Wagner, MD.
“Being chosen to serve as President of VSESPS is both an honor and a privilege,” says Dr. Cooper, “I look forward to continuing in Dr. Wagner’s exemplary executive footsteps, and be a champion of the promotion and preservation of excellence in eye care for the citizens of Virginia.”
Established in 1920 to heighten public awareness of eye disease prevention, detection and treatment, the VSEPS consists of medical doctors and doctors of osteopathy. Its mission is to “advocate for the best quality eye care through education, legislative efforts and community service”.
Dr. Cooper is an active part of the Virginia ophthalmological community. He is currently a member of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, the Medical Society of Virginia and the International Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
