Serving the needs of patients with diverse ophthalmology conditions, Dr. David D. Kim has an extensive background in surgery for cataracts and glaucoma. Reflecting his ophthalmology background, Dr. David D. Kim is a member of the American Glaucoma Society (AGS).
Providing a combination of research, patient support, and educational resources, AGS works with people to identify qualified member physicians in local communities. The organization also maintains a patient portal that includes the AGS Foundation-sponsored public service program, AGS Cares. The focus of this initiative is to reach out to underserved and uninsured patients and ensure that their needs are met through no-cost surgical glaucoma treatment.
Those who qualify for AGS Cares are connected with volunteer surgeons and provided with levels of surgical and postoperative clinical treatment designed to halt disease progression and prevent potential blindness. With numerous corporate partners contributing to this community project, the end result is caring, knowledgeable treatment for those who would otherwise not have been able to access glaucoma care.
