5 Reasons to Support eyePAC—What’s Yours?

eyePAC, the voluntary, non-partisan political action committee representing ophthalmic surgeons, depends on the support of surgeons like yourself. Your investment in eyePAC helps ASCRS support candidates for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives who fight for the issues important to you and your patients.

Here are 5 reasons to support the collective voice advocating for the best interests of ophthalmic surgery:

  1. If you resent the constant threat of Medicare payment cuts and the lack of inflationary adjustment for physicians over the last 20+ years. 
  2. If you spent more than a decade training and refining surgical techniques to have others question the time and intensity of cataract surgery potentially impacting reimbursement.
  3. If you want to support action and speak with a collective voice across the specialty.
  4. If you want to help ASCRS educate members of Congress on issues important to you and your practice.
  5. If you think it’s important to make a difference in your profession and protect the future of anterior segment surgery.
