I was fliping throught web and found an OD with this after his name: OD, F.I.O.S., F.O.C.S., F.N.E.R.F., F.N.A.O. I'm pretty sure I know the first one, but what about the rest?

They have a great CE program. The other ones sound like specialities... but I'm not sure what they stand for. Most likely he's VERY specialized optometrist.
