"Well worth the 3-hr drive I made to get to my first appt. I told Dr. Safi I will follow him anywhere. He’s the best. I trust him; he’s an Army doctor, and they see worse things up at Tripler because of the military exposure. And he’s always in a good mood; helps put you at ease. I recommend you guys to everyone."

As we celebrate Black History this month, we take a look at some remarkable pioneers whose persistence, dedication, innovation and leadership have paved the way and shaped the landscape of eye and vision science.  From top to right:
David K. McDonogh, MD, (1821 - 1893), was a slave who, became Americas FIRST African American Ophthalmologist,  practiced at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and even started a practice in Manhattan’s Village neighborhood.  Howard P. Venable, MD, (1913 – 1998) and his wife, Katie, started the Venable Student Research Fund in Ophthalmology with the goal of encouraging more black students to join the ophthalmology field. The fund supported resident research projects and provided resources for necessary equipment and housing. Venable retired in 1987 and in 1994 was awarded the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Outstanding Humanitarian Award — the first African American to receive this honor.
