Emily Benson, OD


Hi! My name is Emily Benson and I’m the current cornea & contact lens and ocular disease resident at the University of Virginia Department of Ophthalmology. I earned both my OD and MS degrees at The Ohio State University College of Optometry and a BSc in Neuroscience at Lafayette College. Some fun facts about me are that I was a D1 athlete in college and just bought an annual pass for a ski resort here in Virginia even though I barely know how to ski.
