Planning is underway for the 2027 Hawaiian Eye & Retina Meeting! Our President, Jane Shuman, serves as the Director of the Allied Health Track.

She met with the new Director of the Administrator Track, Debbie Davis, for their first meeting on the Combined Program. This Friday session is back by popular demand.

June is Cataract Awareness Month. Cataracts start forming for most in their 40s and progress slowly over time, making vision blurred with colors appearing dull. Having cataracts is a lot like trying to look through a dirty window or smudged camera lens.

Famous painter Claude Monet was diagnosed with cataracts at the age of 60. While his ophthalmologist recommended cataract surgery, Monet initially refused the procedure.

As a result, the impact of his cataracts shows dramatically in his paintings over time. He lamented himself that colors no longer had the same intensity; and he had to keep a strict color pallet and paint labeling system to avoid using the wrong colors.

This Cataract Awareness Month, take a lesson Monet's story. Seek treatment early before cataracts take their toll!
