Professional Excellence
Dr. Margaret E. Moore's career exemplifies professional excellence through her comprehensive residency training at the prestigious Yale-affiliated West Haven Veterans Affairs Hospital, where she gained expertise across multiple subspecialties including retina, glaucoma, cornea, uveitis, and neuro-ophthalmology clinics at Yale Ophthalmology. Her board certification in advanced medical optometry from the American College of Medical Optometry and Fellowship status in the American Academy of Optometry, an honor held by fewer than 10% of U.S. optometrists, demonstrate her commitment to maintaining the highest clinical standards. Dr. Moore's extensive experience encompasses specialized care for complex conditions, from providing low vision services to inpatients at the Eastern Blind Rehabilitation Center to treating veterans with traumatic brain injury. Her multifaceted expertise, combined with leadership roles on professional boards and recognition as Modern Optometry's "One to Watch," reflects a dedication to advancing both patient care and the optometric profession.
I chose optometry because I wanted a career where I could combine clinical excellence with genuine human connection. There's nothing more fulfilling than knowing that the care I provide today helps my patients maintain their independence, pursue their passions, and see the faces of the people they love for years to come.
