Abstract
Numerous ophthalmic eponyms are associated with the Mayo Clinic. Some
of the terms, such as ''Hollenhorst plaque'' and ''Kearns-Sayre syndro
me,'' are well known, whereas others are relatively obscure. Although
eponyms have their detractors, the designations likely will appear in
the medical lexicon for many more years.
