The Ophthalmologist

Welcome to The Ophthalmologist July/August 2026. In this issue, Kai Jin and Andrzej Grzybowski examine ophthalmic AI through the lens of clinical value rather than technical novelty; Iraqi-born ophthalmologist Hasan Chichan reflects on his journey "From Babylon to Berlin" and bridging the divide between modern retina care and humanitarian medicine; José F. Alfonso looks "Beyond the Diopter" and how to evolve your framework for refractive surgery planning; and we sit down with Ron Kurtz, President and CEO of RxSight, to talk about the power of adjustability.
