I received the very sad news this morning that Dr. Lionel Chisholm passed away. Dr. Chisholm trained Dr. Mansour as well as countless others at the University of Toronto, Department of Ophthalmology and later at West Virginia University. He worked at The Virginia Retina Center from 2011 to 2020. Dr. Chisholm was the consummate gentleman and knew the retina like the back of his hand. He will be so deeply missed. Our condolences to his wife, Ann as well as their extended family.

This week, we’re highlighting Isabel Hayes Chapin Barrows (1845-1913), the first woman to practice ophthalmology in the United States. Dr. Barrows studied medicine at the Women’s Medical College of the New York, and specialized in ophthalmology in Zurich, Switzerland. She opened her own private ophthalmology practice in Washington, D.C. in 1870 and became one of the first female professors at Howard University Medical School in 1871. She later left ophthalmology to follow her husband into ministry work.
