My name is Steven Newman. I'm a Professor at the University of Virginia where I practice neuro-ophthalmology, oculoplastics and orbital surgery. A neuro-ophthalmologist is concerned with the overlap between ophthalmology, the study of the eye and vision, and the surrounding areas neurology and neuro surgery and so on. I decided to go into medicine through the old fashion way. I was a patient. In 1955, I had some neuro-optomic problems myself. I remember my father coming home and I said, "I see two daddies." And I was operated on by a neurosurgeon in New York, who was one of Harvey Cushing who basically started neurosurgery residence from 1926. And that became very interesting to me and I decided I would pursue him into neuroscience, which I've persisted in. I think those of us in medicine have picked out the most rewarding career possible. We actually get to help patients. And in ophthalmology, we recognize an area that is more important to our patients than anything possibly except fear of cancer, because patients value their eyesight almost more than anything else. And if we can help maintain that and help them function as best as possible, it's extraordinarily rewarding for us in taking care of people.
