Black patients and Ophthalmology
Black ophthalmologists: eye surgery and advanced eye disease care. Less than 3 percent of U.S. ophthalmologists are Black. Access is the core issue.
Ophthalmologists are MDs who perform eye surgery and treat advanced eye disease. Only about 2.5 percent of U.S. ophthalmologists are Black (AAMC, 2023). Given that Black Americans face dramatically higher rates of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts, plus worse outcomes from each, access to ophthalmology is a straightforward equity issue.
