The RSA offers cooperative programs for marketing, purchasing, financing, and more. The 2017 RSA Social Media Campaign attracted international participation, led to a huge increase in coordinated, positive messaging about refractive surgery on a global scale, trained a social media coordinator at each practice, and is expanding in 2018.

All RSA members are listed on the RSA website on a variety of pages including links to their biography and their practice website. The large network of links causes these RSA listings to rank high in Google searches.

RSA Membership is $800 USD per year for physicians in practice 5 years or more, $100 per year 5 years or less, and $50 for residents and fellows. Most RSA meetings and events are free to members, providing one of the highest Returns on Investment (ROI) in ophthalmology!

Through the Master of Refractive Surgery program, RSA members access a unique, high-quality educa- tion across “4 Dimensions” – Business & Leadership; Technology & Innovation; Core Competency (the procedures); and Practical Skills. RSA members have preferred access & pricing to these programs, saving thousands of dollars.

The RSA has a vibrant Young RSA Members section that is grow- ing rapidly. All generations benefit from the shared exposure – for job placement, ideas, and marketing insights.
