William Feinbloom (born Brooklyn 1904, died 1985) was an American optometrist considered to be a pioneer in the field of low vision, visual rehabilitation, and the development of low vision devices. [1] [2]
In 1936, he introduced a glass-plastic design contact lens, making them lighter and more convenient than the existing glass-blown lenses. [3] [4]
The Southern California College of Optometry makes an annual award in Feinbloom's name for a student showing outstanding clinical patient care. [5]
The Pennsylvania College of Optometry's clinic, The Eye Institute, operates the William Feinbloom Vision Rehabilitation Center.
