Join Eye Deserve More
Healthy vision cannot be taken for granted. The AOA’s Eye Deserve More campaign brings this important health reality to every American—that everyone deserves comprehensive eye care from an AOA doctor as a part of their overall health and well-being. We are activating the public to take control of their own eye care and spread the word about its importance to others.
More than 227 million Americans play video games 1, and with gaming and screen time on the rise, so are the long-term risks to eye health.
Patients deserve more information about their health and deeper connections with their health providers. Doctors deserve more opportunities to provide patients with the comprehensive care they deserve and empower healthy lifestyle choices.
Eye Deserve More 3.0 will build on our success in reaching the millions of Americans experiencing the effects of screen time but aren’t working with an AOA doctor to improve their overall health.
Stay tuned for more information on how AOA is leveling up in 2023.
