Welcome to our celebration of 10 ophthalmologists whose ideas, achievements, and ambitions are helping to shape the future of the specialty.
Here, “rising” does not necessarily mean someone at the beginning of their career. As you will see, several of this year’s honorees already have a formidable list of accomplishments behind them. But what unites all 10 is their continuing upward trajectory – reaching for new heights, advancing patient care and making an increasingly significant impact on the field.
Selected from nominations proposed by our Power List alumni, these Rising Stars are driving progress across retinal imaging, artificial intelligence, gene and cell therapies, surgical innovation and international clinical research. Together, they offer an exciting glimpse of where retina is heading next.
