Have to break my social media silence for this. My life updates don’t matter; the lives & moreso the lives lost in the genocide-like fight for #FreedomForIran is what needs to be shared because look at the death tolls this high being swept under the rug!

Especially since your USC commencement speech 2009, I live by your philosophies. So excited for the new book #BeUseful @Schwarzenegger

Preposterous! Veto please!! Keep the fight strong FOA & AOA #4yearsundergrad4yearsdoctorateplus1yearresidency #iamadoctor No one is out there making claims to blur the lines, OD, MD, DMD, DC, DPM, PhD, etc… yes we’re all different but we’re all doctors!
A new law enacted during the 2023 legislative session in Florida reverses decades of state law and practice to curb optometry’s essential and expanding role in the health care system. The AOA is, as always, prepared to take action. Read more: bit.ly/42MtzZD

Exciting opportunity to engage in the history of #optometry and use your creativity to earn $$$ to travel to #OM2023

Great explanation of the ever evolving eye field and optometry’s role from primary vision care to medical management of ocular health!
‘Eyeconomist’ data shows optometry’s market opportunities ‘never better’ with rapidly increasing demand for medical eye care services underscoring the profession’s role in primary eye health and vision care. Learn more: bit.ly/3It5Bew

To the naysayers, don’t let them be right. Thank you for announcing your intention @VP , next let’s make it a reality and get #freedomforiran #MahsaAmini #WomensRights #HumanRights @POTUS
Today we are announcing our intention to remove Iran from the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Given Iran’s brutal crackdown on women and girls protesting peacefully for their rights, Iran is unfit to serve on this Commission.
To the protestors: we see you and we hear you.

#NYTS 🙏🏼 may this be the (biggest) sign that #freedomforiran is coming in this #IranianRevolution #MahsaAmini #HumanRights #WomensRights
Times Square is lit with the slogan of #IranRevoIution2022 tonight. On the 40th day of her murder, the world is bearing witness to history in making. #MahsaAmini #JinaAmini
Finally she speaks! Thank you for standing with the women and freedom fighters of Iran! Stay strong women, a revolution is coming!

I met Nazanin Boniadi today to discuss the peaceful protests in Iran. The women and girls who are risking their lives to stand up for equal rights and basic human dignity are an inspiration to all of us around the world. We see you and we stand with you.
ALT Vice President Harris sits with Nazanin Boniadi in her West Wing office.
Correct. Iranian citizens won’t be quieted. It’s working. Keep passing it on! Thank you @potus

President Biden opens his remarks in Irvine, California by expressing support for the women-led Iranian protests:
“We stand with the citizens and brave women of Iran ... It’s awakened something I don’t think will be quieted in a long, long time.”
#DariushAlizadeh honked his horn to support the protesters and with that he gave his life - his mother spoke out, “don’t send me condolences, keep the uprising going” #sayhername #mahsaamini #wewantfreedom

A contact lens Rx doesn’t just make u 20/20 but incl size parameters to fit your eye appropriately. Bad fits can lead to ulcers, scarring, and vision loss!

AOA's ’31 in 31’ campaign spotlights bad actors in the contact lens market.
“As CLCS chair and a doctor who specializes in contact lenses, I know the impact that poorly fitting contact lenses can have on the ocular surface. It is critical that patients…lnkd.in/ddAnJiRH
Report the “bad actors” to the FTC who enforces consumer safety and works with the FDA’s #MedWatch volunteer adverse event reporting program.

Fantastic start! VLL is still going on through the rest of today. Tune in & follow up on EyeLearn to stay up to date. @AOAConnect #myopiamanagement #optometry #paraoptometric #dontbenearsightedwithnearsightedness #oculardisease #eyecare
We had an excellent discussion about myopia management at AOA 2021 Virtual Learning Livecast. Great way to start the day!

An ongoing safety concern. Patient’s eyes deserve more.
Thank you @MahsaKM for sharing how #ContactLens sales by online retailers without proper prescription verification can negatively impact #optometry patients.
Together we can educate policymakers on the negative impacts of robocalls. Share your story: bit.ly/3lJoqwK

@repbarbaralee as my U.S. Representative, I urge you to support #HR3975. By modernizing the #contactlens prescription verification process, you can help ensure #patientsafety and set a high standard for care in #telehealth.
