Duke Eye Center faculty and trainees were proud to take part in the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C., where ophthalmologists and trainees from across the country met with lawmakers to advocate for policies that protect patients’ access to sight‑saving care.
By engaging directly with congressional offices, our team helped elevate key issues affecting patient safety, physician training, and the future of ophthalmic care. Their participation reflects Duke’s ongoing commitment to advancing national advocacy efforts that support the needs of our patients and the profession.
