Patient Perspective
Why listening to patients leads to better AK care.
AK is traumatic and often misunderstood. Listening to patients is essential for better care and real change.
“I wish I had never learned what AK was. When I went through it, I didn’t know that contact lenses and water don’t mix, and I couldn’t find the information or support I needed. I don’t want any AK warrior to feel alone. I want patients to have the knowledge to advocate for themselves, doctors to understand the patient perspective, and every contact lens user to know how to protect their sight.”
— Juliette Vila Sinclair Spence
