Congratulations to Dr. Jorge Cuadros, who has been honored with the Brien Holden Humanitarian Award from the American Academy of Optometry. This prestigious award recognizes individuals or organizations making significant contributions to improve eye care within a country or region – particularly through humanitarian efforts that support the development of sustainable eye care systems in underserved communities.
Dr. Cuadros was recognized for his visionary work in addressing barriers to care through technology and education. His groundbreaking teleretinal screening program, EyePACS, has screened more than 750,000 patients with diabetes in the U.S. and abroad, expanding access to early detection of diabetic eye disease in communities without regular eye screenings. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Cuadros on this well-deserved recognition for his humanitarian impact in advancing global eye health.
