icia_logo_large5ICare in America consists of a group of faculty headed by Dr. Marguerite McDonald and includes Dr. Michael Lemp, Dr. Gary Foulks, Dr. Kelly Nichols, Dr. Richard Lindstrom, Dr. Terrence O’Brien and Dr. Stephen Pflugfelder. The group was convened to review the results of a recent landmark survey of patient and eye care specialist perceptions regarding the impact of Blepharitis in America, conducted July through September of 2008.

ICare in America concludes that a large portion of the U.S. adult population is affected by symptoms associated with Blepharitis and that ophthalmologists and optometrists are concerned about the diagnosis of Blepharitis.
