title: Ophthalmic eponyms from the Mayo Clinic.
abstract: Numerous ophthalmic eponyms are associated with the Mayo Clinic. Some of the terms, such as "Hollenhorst plaque" and "Kearns-Sayre syndrome," 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.
