Lubow Lectureship
The Dr. Martin Lubow Lectureship Fund was created by Don and Abby Robinson to honor Dr. Martin Lubow who was one of the first neuro-ophthalmologist fellows in the country. Martin Lubow grew up in New York City and moved to California when he was 16. After graduating from UCLA, he went to Medical School at UCSF. He completed an ophthalmology residency at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
He completed his fellowship under Dr. William Hoyt at the University of California, San Francisco. At that time, there were only three neuro-ophthalmologists in the country: Boston’s Dr. Cogan, Baltimore’s Dr. Walsh, and San Francisco’s Dr. Hoyt. These three men are considered the three founding fathers of neuro-ophthalmology.
When the first neuro-ophthalmology fellowship class graduated, they were dispersed throughout the country to teach this new sub-specialty. Dr. Lubow was recruited to Ohio State in part because Dr. George Paulson, founding chairman of the OSU department of neurology, recognized the advantage of having a neuro-ophthalmologist at OSU. After 30 years of teaching and clinical practice, Dr. Lubow retired. He passed away in 2015.
