Shining Through: The Ophthalmologist Rising Stars

For 10 years, The Ophthalmologist has been honoring the excellence of the most influential people in the field with its annual Power List – arguably the single biggest media event in the ophthalmology calendar.

This year, we expanded this celebratory roll-call with The Ophthalmologist Power List Hall of Fame, which highlights the legacy of Power List luminaries that have had the most significant impact on eye care.

Now, we extend the scope of the Power List to ophthalmologists and scientists at an earlier stage in their career.

The Ophthalmologist Power List Rising Stars program creates a connection between the community of doctors and scientists that have been rightly recognized for their impact on ophthalmology over many years with those individuals who are already making waves despite their relative youth.

Each candidate is nominated by one or more Power List alumni to create a shortlist. The shortlist is scrutinized and honed by The Ophthalmologist team to create a final list of just 10 Rising Stars, who are following their own paths, building on the work of their mentors, and forging new connections to advance the world of ophthalmology.

Each year, we will follow our Rising Stars as their careers continue to soar – charting their journeys, discussing their achievements, and featuring their input as The Ophthalmologist embraces the next generation of experts and leaders. Are they the high-potential Power Listers of the future? You be the judge.
