Dr. Bird to serve AIGPO board

Antiguan Optometrist, Dr. Jillia Bird has accepted an invitation to become a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of International Glaucoma Patient Organizations (AIGPO).

The invitation came from New York Ophthalmologist Dr. Robert Ritch, co-chair of the AIGPO who is presently also co-chair of the World Glaucoma Foundation and surgeon director of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.

The AIGPO is an organisation that developed as an off-shoot of the Association of International Glaucoma Societies – “a global organisation for glaucoma science and care.”
