To facilitate faster recognition of ADOA and ADOA-plus in consultations, the Cure ADOA Foundation sent more than 100 information packages this weekend to ophthalmology departments of hospitals and specialist eye clinics throughout the Netherlands.
Our goal: to ensure that healthcare providers consider ADOA(-plus) sooner when a hereditary optic nerve disorder is suspected, so that patients receive the correct diagnosis, information and support more quickly.
What's in the information pack?
Each package contains:
📄 Healthcare provider brochure
Including information about what ADOA(-plus) is, how to recognize it, and what you should look out for as an ophthalmologist or other healthcare provider.
📄 Patient information leaflet
This brochure can be given to patients – and their loved ones – who (possibly) have ADOA (plus). It contains accessible information about the condition and the foundation.
💳 Business cards
These cards can be distributed to patients and other interested parties who would like to read more about ADOA(-plus) or contact the Cure ADOA Foundation later.
Would you also like to receive an information package?
Do you work in ophthalmology and would you like to receive an information package (or additional brochures/cards) for your department or practice? Or would you like an information package about ADOA for another reason? Let us know! Send an email to hedy@adoa.eu
Together with healthcare providers throughout the Netherlands, we are working to raise awareness, accelerate recognition, and improve information for everyone affected by ADOA(-plus). 💙
