I am extremely proud to share this year’s Power List with you, this time focusing exclusively on outstanding female figures in ophthalmology. As one of the featured Power Listers put it: “I hope [this Power List] gives courage to other women to aspire [to similar positions]. Looking at the list, I see that our future is bright with so many capable women at all stages of their careers.”

A hugely overwhelming majority of our readers and contributors have praised the list, but not everyone is sold on the idea – read Lucy Mathen’s column to find out what her reservations are. Then, let me know your thoughts on edit@theophthalmologist.com. Until next time, Aleksandra Jones, Editor

We work with event organizers from all around the world to help bring the ophthalmologic community together, from flagship congresses to intimate meetings that fit around a table. Discover some of the events that we partner with and stay up-to-date with the latest developments.
