A person in your field you look up to…

I am privileged to work with so many amazing up and coming researchers. Some that come to mind include:

1. Siegfried Wagner, who leads the AlzEye study with me… this should transform the use of the eye as a window to the rest of the body! 
2. Xiaoxuan Liu, who led recent AI extensions of CONSORT and SPIRIT clinical trial guidelines. With Alastair Denniston, she co-leads the recent Standing Together grant funding from NHSx, which will focus on making sure that AI works well across genders and ethnicities.

Top 50 rising stars

Thanks to the demographics of the developed world, the future of eyecare looks like it will be one of limited resources and rising patient burden.

Welcome to the 2017 Power List.

In 2018, The Ophthalmologist will be recognising the Top 100 pioneers and game-changers in the field of ophthalmology.

Top 40 Under 40

In 2014, we compiled a list of the Top 100 most influential people in ophthalmology – an endeavor that received a significant amount of attention and, it’s fair to say, caused more than a little controversy. For our 2015 Top 40 Under 40 list we’ve taken a different approach, asking: who are the young, up-and-coming individuals set to rise to the top of their field? That’s the question we posed to ourselves – and then to you – ahead of open nominations and a painstaking judging process. Our list this year almost halves the average age of the celebrated individuals, with many of them born in the same year as the iconic Sex Pistols cover – 1977. Though we admit that no list of this type can be definitive, it does clearly show that the future of ophthalmology is very bright indeed. And so, without further ado, we celebrate the movers and shakers aged 40 or under who show what can be achieved with determination, passion and inspiration.
