The Ophthalmologist Power List 2024 is Live!
Our annual ranking of the most inspirational and influential clinicians, scientist, and leaders in ophthalmology

It’s that time of year again, when we showcase the great and the good of ophthalmology. The graduation of some of our previous mainstays to our new Hall of Fame has opened up 2024’s ranking for quite a few changes to the Top 20 – and, seemingly, for the inclusion of several industry leaders who have not appeared on any of our Power Lists before.
Aside from this reshuffle, an overriding and inescapable theme of this year’s list is the encroaching effect of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) on ophthalmology. Around half of our Top 100 ophthalmologists have something to say about AI and ML. Reassuringly, these comments are very positive – with just a smattering of skepticism, covering everything from the transformative leap that the integration of AI and ML will bring to diagnostic processes to the development of robotic surgery.
As usual, the task of selecting and ranking the Top 100 ophthalmologists was a burden shouldered by our panel of judges – all internationally renowned experts in the field themselves. And once again, the insights and observations provided by our 100 chosen influencers throw a light on the cutting-edge issues and trends that are driving and shaping ophthalmology right now – as well as letting us in on some lesser-known aspects of their backgrounds and interests.
