Abstract
Numerous ophthalmic eponyms are associated with the Mayo Clinic. Some
of the terms, such as Hollenhorst plaque and Kearns-Sayre syndrome, ar
e well known, whereas others are relatively cryptic or parochial. Alth
ough eponyms have their detractors, the designations will likely appea
r in the medical lexicon for many years to come.
