For 10 years, The Ophthalmologist has been honoring the most influential people in the field with its annual Power List. This year, we expanded this prestigious roll call with The Power List Hall of Fame, highlighting the leaders who have had the most significant influence on eye care over their long careers.

Now, we extend the scope of the Power List to ophthalmologists and scientists who are at an earlier stage in their journey, but who are already making waves in the industry.

We are delighted to present our first 10 Rising Stars!

Here, they talk about their passion for ophthalmology, their mentors and ophthalmic heroes, and the impact they’d like to make on the industry as their careers advance further.
