FLEUR DE LIS SOCIETY
In 2026, we proudly celebrate 75 years of excellence in ophthalmic education. This milestone is a testament to the unwavering dedication of the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology (NOAO)—and to you, our valued members and supporters.
For decades, NOAO has been more than just a source of continuing medical education. It has been a pillar of innovation, a trusted resource, and a community where ophthalmologists come together to learn, grow, and advance the future of eye care.
Now, We Need Your Help to Secure the Next 75 Years
While NOAO has remained steadfast in its mission, the challenges of sustaining high-quality, independent education continue to grow. Rising costs, evolving technology, and the need for innovative learning formats threaten our ability to provide world-class education at an affordable price.
