The American College of Eye Surgeons' (ACES) fundamental objective is to promote high quality standards in the area of ophthalmic surgical services. ACES is committed to assuring a continuing awareness of the importance and value of high quality ophthalmic surgical services among the public, governmental regulators, insurers, alternate delivery systems and others. Additionally, ACES hosts annual "Quality Surgery" educational programs, which provide a forum through which physicians are exposed to many of the newest techniques in surgical ophthalmology.

The American Board of Eye Surgery's (ABES) primary objective is to ensure relevant and appropriate criteria to permit the identification and recognition of valid and accepted standards of quality and competency for eye surgery. The American Board of Eye Surgery will promote the highest possible quality ophthalmic surgical care through certification programs, which include, as one of their components, a process through which a surgeon's actual surgical skills and judgement are tested and observed by his or her peers.
