The Mongolian Ophthalmologists’ Society (MOS) was founded in 1987. Its membership includes 100% of practicing ophthalmologists in Mongolia. The MOS collects dues from its members. Since the income from member’s dues is low, the activities are limited to annual meeting and international membership dues, and issuing the peer-reviewed local journal in Ophthalmology. During 2007-2013, the MOS issued the Mongolian Ophthalmology Journal twice a year. Since 2014 the Ophthalmology journal has been incorporated with the Medical University issued journal “Innovation. Ophthalmology series is one of four editions issued annually.

In conjunction with INGOs or individual ophthalmologists from the USA, UK, Korea, the MOS organises seminars and workshops for continuing medical education for its members.

Outside the medical community it promotes public health information to others. The MOS works closely with the Mongolian National Federation for the Blind, supporting with professional advises for their activities and partnering in celebrating the World Sight Day.
