Support Groups and Resources
UT Southwestern Medical Center has a caring staff of medical professionals who are committed to enhancing patients’ quality of life, as well as meeting the needs of patients’ families. We can direct patients to a variety of informative and enriching support groups and other resources, which can be tailored to meet their specific needs.
At UT Southwestern, excellence in patient care includes helping point the way to resources patients may not be familiar with, but which have proved invaluable to others. We trust these services will assist patients as they move forward on the road to healing and improved health.
UT Southwestern partners with the Eye Services Consortium of Dallas, which provides information about numerous organizations that assist patients with vision-related issues.
For more information about eye conditions and disease and about eye research, the Department of Ophthalmology suggests the following organizations.
American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO)
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) is the world's largest association of eye physicians and surgeons. With annual conferences, educational courses and scientific publications, the AAO’s goal is the continued education of ophthalmologists so that the public can obtain the best possible eye care.
