Message from the PAOF Chair

Dec 15, 2020

We have come to the end of a challenging year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Pan-American community for its unceasing support. As Mother Teresa said, “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.”

Message from the PAOF Chair

Nov 23, 2020

A vital activity of the Pan-American Ophthalmological Foundation (PAOF) is our Life & Legacy Program. A permanently endowed program is a wonderful way to create a legacy and ensure education for years to come.

Message from the PAOF Chair

Oct 28, 2020

This year is rapidly coming to a close. Looking back over the year, I have been analyzing what positive things have come from the COVID-19 pandemic.
