ASCRS members have the expertise to change how the world sees—literally.

On , we celebrate the ophthalmologists, eyecare teams, and partners working together to protect vision, prevent blindness, and expand access to care.

For Francis Mah, MD, Immediate Past President of ASCRS, it's a shared mission: "The ASCRS Foundation represents an entity where the entire ophthalmic community can come together to protect vision, prevent blindness, and restore a fuller, more productive life."

Proud to be part of a community dedicated to clearer vision for patients everywhere.

Thank you to STAAR Surgical for supporting this mission as Presenting Sponsor of National Sight Week.
