Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye Campaign

Thank You, Generous Donors!

Your support allows the Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye to continually grow, add new, innovative exhibits and host engaging public programs. 

Donor Highlight: American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS)

We would like to highlight a generous commitment from the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS). ASOPRS’ mission is to advance education, research and the quality of clinical practice in the fields of aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery specializing in the face, orbits, eyelids and lacrimal system.

Thanks to ASOPRS’ support, the Museum of the Eye has installed an interactive touchscreen display with text, photos and videos related to oculofacial plastic surgery and its history. We would also like to thank the experts who worked with museum staff to ensure accuracy in this exhibit: Cat Burkat, MD, and Robert G. Fante, MD, 2021 president of ASOPRS, who served as lead content developers, editors and editor.
