First, I want to pay tribute to the two Chinese ophthalmologists, Drs. Li Wenliang and Mei Zhongming , who were among the first medical professionals to lose their lives in the current COVID-19 pandemic.

He is thought to have acquired the virus when treating an infected patient with acute angle-closure glaucoma.
