Dr. Judith Kirby Grateful to Help Texans See Their Best

Meet ophthalmologist, Judith Kirby, MD. She’s one of more than 5,000 ophthalmologists nationwide who volunteer through the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s EyeCare America® program to provide eye exams for people in her community who generally don’t have health insurance.
During this symbolic year of 2020, the Academy is shining a light on some of ophthalmology’s many unsung heroes; those who quietly serve the underserved, who mentor the next generation, who share their skills with the world; heroes like Dr. Kirby.
For Dr. Kirby, ophthalmology is not just her profession, it’s her privilege. “Every day I go to work, and I love everything that I do, and I am just so grateful for the capacity to powerfully impact people's lives every day,” Dr. Kirby said.
