Dr. David Kang has named to one of the 'The Power List 50' by The Ophthalmologist.
"The Power List is gloriously subjective. Why?
Because it’s ophthalmologists who do the voting!
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. So who will lead ophthalmology over the next few
decades and shape its future? To find out, we asked you, our readers,
to vote for ophthalmology’s Top 50 rising stars… and here they are.
The Power Lists are all about celebrating effort and achievement."
