About Us

Stories

In a new series, OMIC invites policyholders to tell their stories about what OMIC means to them. We strive to be a great service of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, totally independent, but with a purpose much larger than other malpractice insurance companies. We hope to fulfill a critical role whereby leveraging OMIC’s unique experience in defending ophthalmology we may offer specific advantages an ophthalmologist will not find with other companies.
