A CALL TO ACTION

For the past 50 years, we have been a leader in the mission to improve vision-related quality of life for people across the globe. Your generous support makes it possible to continue this work, as well as advance research and grow the educational opportunities available to our medical students, residents, fellows, doctoral and post-doctoral students. Together, we can lead clinical care and vision research for years to come.

Your gift of any size helps us remain learner-focused and mission-driven. Gifts to our department are made through our philanthropic entity, the University of Wisconsin Foundation. To help advance a current priority need, consider making a gift to the Ophthalmology Teaching Enhancement Fund.
