Published 2020 in Indian Journal of Ophthalmology

ABSTRACT

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology (IJO) is enormously proud to feature Prof. Narsing A. Rao as part of its series “Living Legends in Ophthalmology.” Prof. Rao is a world leader in uveitis, ocular immunology and pathology, and has inspired, empowered, and mentored generations of ophthalmologists to pursue this unique specialty with keen passion. Following his medical education at the Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, India, Prof. Rao moved to the United States, trained in pathology and ophthalmology, focused on uveitis, ocular immunology, and inflammation, and deftly climbed the academic ladder to currently chair the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA. For his outstanding contributions to ophthalmology, Prof. Rao has been awarded the Lorenz E. Zimmerman medal by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Ramon L. Font medal by the Pan American Society of Ophthalmology, and the prestigious Bietti Medal by the International Council of Ophthalmology. Prof. Rao is an astute clinician, keen researcher, passionate teacher, indulgent mentor, and an authority in his areas of focus—a true Living Legend in Ophthalmology. The story of his life and times is immensely inspiring and exemplifies what an ignited mind of a young ophthalmologist can help achieve.[1,2] Almost the entire lineage of uveitis specialists in India owes its origin to Prof. Rao.[3] This special issue of IJO also pays due tribute to Prof. Amod Gupta, who has spearheaded the clinical practice, training, and research of uveitis in India.[4]
