  • The American Academy of Ophthalmology Foundation is pleased to announce Honor a Mentor—a new campaign to support our members’ passion for giving back to our profession. It’s an exciting way to honor a professor, colleague or advisor whom you admire and who has helped you in your career. Plus, you’ll be supporting the Academy’s mission to protect sight and empower lives.
