Omar Mohiuddin, OTR/L, MS, MPH, CLVT, is an occupational therapist at the Duke Eye Center specializing in low-vision rehabilitation. Throughout his career, he has recognized that many accessibility issues remain unaddressed, even in spaces designed for older adults and people with visual impairments. This realization fueled his passion for improving the lives of those with blindness and low vision.
Mohiuddin also teaches in Duke's Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) Low-Vision Certificate program. In the latest Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Spotlight from the School of Medicine, he discusses his work at the Duke Eye Center and his volunteer efforts with a nonprofit that supports young people with visual impairments and blindness.
