Abstract: This issue of Virtual Mentor explores some of the key ethical questions in ophthalmology that will impact patients and clinicians and engage ethicists today and for years to come as the field continues to advance.What are the responsibilities of ophthalmologists to patients, other practitioners, and society?This month's authors focus primarily on two dimensions of responsibility to the patient: resisting the lure of commercialism and going the extra mile to provide the best possible care.Resisting the influence of industry can be a significant challenge for ophthalmologists.
