Dr. Benjeil Edghill is a Brooklyn native, a glaucoma specialist, and an advocate for minoritized groups. He’s not only a skilled surgeon practicing in New York City but also a leader in advocating for better care for minority communities and supporting the next generation of URiM physicians through his work with and leadership in the NMA ophthalmology section.
His story is an example of what can happen at the intersection of ability, opportunity, mentorship, allyship, and representation, all of which propelled him into a successful career as an ophthalmologist and a national leader for diversity and patient advocacy in our specialty.
