Chairman and Director, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, Florida, USA

A person in your field you look up to…

The person I most admire in the field is Edward W. D. Norton, the insightful ophthalmologist who founded Bascom Palmer Eye Institute 60 years ago and guided its growth for more than three decades. Norton – a remarkable physician, professor, and administrator – inspired openness and trust. That transparency and integrity created the foundation that, to this day, allows Bascom Palmer to grow and flourish. All of us at Bascom Palmer, including alumni around the world, are proud to continue his legacy of providing compassionate patient care and advancing our understanding of ophthalmology.
