“There's a reason you chose to be an ophthalmologist. Amidst the daily problems of staffing an office, running a business and meeting a payroll, it's often easy to lose sight of that reason. Operation Sight brings me back every week to the reason I do what I do. It's the purest expression of my best self. It reminds me daily of the remarkable magic trick every ophthalmologist knows, and its capacity to change the world.” —Jeffrey Levenson, MD, 2022 ASCRS Foundation Operation Sight Volunteer of the Year
