News — Beginning in 2025, the American Academy of Ophthalmology will offer an international dues structure based on the economic circumstances of different countries. While the dues levels are new, the member benefit package remains the same. The Academy is committed to supporting the professional growth of the world’s ophthalmologists in a way that is more accessible, equitable and affordable.
The new dues are based on two recognized global standards: the World Bank Group and the Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI) income groups. There will be four levels for international dues beginning in 2025: $200, $275, $400, $525.
