Grayson W. Armstrong, MD, MPH
Dr. Armstrong earned his MD from the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, where his research covered a range of topics, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography in pediatric choroidal neovascularization, OCT angiography to assess pigmented epithelial detachments, pediatric eye injuries treated in United States emergency departments, and motor vehicle crash-associated eye injuries in the United States.
While in medical school, Dr. Armstrong concurrently earned a Master of Public Health degree, with a focus on Health Care Policy and Management from the Harvard School of Public Health. He has served as a fellow at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and worked with the Massachusetts Governor’s office to secure resident access to the state’s prescription drug monitoring program.
After completing his residency at Harvard Ophthalmology, Dr. Grayson served as Chief Resident and Director of Mass Eye and Ear's Ocular Trauma Service for AY 2019-2020. During that time, he oversaw and coordinated trauma coverage at Mass Eye and Ear and Brigham and Women’s Hospital and served as a vital mentor, teacher, and peer resource to Harvard Ophthalmology’s 24 residents.
Within organized medicine, Dr. Armstrong has served on the executive committee of the Massachusetts Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons, on multiple committees of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and on the Board of Directors of the American Medical Association’s Political Action Committee (AMPAC). He was recently elected to serve on the American Medical Association’s Board of Trustees for a two-year term.
Dr. Armstrong has fostered an interest in ophthalmic telemedicine and healthcare technology innovation and entrepreneurship since medical school. He is focusing his research endeavors on instituting tele-ophthalmology at Mass Eye and Ear and beyond. He has served as an advisor for various health technology startups. In his role as founder of Ocular Technologies, he has been working with collaborators in Boston and across the United States in the design of novel telemedicine and artificial intelligence technologies in the field of ophthalmology for which he won the 2020 MIT 100k Entrepreneurship Award.
