J. Donald M. Gass, MD, of Nashville, died on Feb. 26 at the age of 76, from complications of pancreatic cancer.
An obituary in the Nashville Tennessean noted that Dr. Gass was well known around the world for his work in pathology, in the development of fluorescein angiography, in the classification of macular holes and in other research on diseases of the retina, macula and uvea.
Dr. Gass was selected as one of the 10 most influential ophthalmologists of the 20th century by his peers and was inducted into the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Hall of Fame in 1999, a press release from ASCRS said.
