Mor Dickman

Dickman is coordinating a multicenter, randomized study comparing ultra-thin DSAEK with DSAEK and, and is involved in the development of a novel photosensitizer for crosslinking. He hopes to complete his residency and continue combining research and clinical practice in an academic setting. “In the short-to-medium term I expect novel drug delivery and monitoring systems, and new treatments for myopia to change clinical practice,” he says.

A nominator said: “Mor is working on innovations in endothelial keratoplasty techniques using new microkeratomes. Three of his presentations at ASCRS and EuCornea were awarded best papers of session. He is still a resident, and I foresee an interesting career for him.”

Part of the Power List 2015

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.
