About Cynthia Ann Toth

Joseph A.C. Wadsworth Distinguished Professor of Ophthalmology, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Duke Ophthalmology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina, USA

In the words of her nominator: “No top ophthalmologist list would be complete without Cindy Toth. A pioneer in the use of handheld OCT to image babies in the NICU to better understand the development of the retina and the brain, as well as intraoperative OCT guided ophthalmic surgery, she has inspired generations of young ophthalmologists, women and men alike. As a female retina specialist who is just starting her career, I consider myself lucky to be her mentee as she is one of few mentors who will go to bat for you and help support your career for the long haul.”
