An accomplished clinician, a great teacher and an exemplary role model, Dr. Marilyn T. Miller has touched the lives of generations of eye health providers and patients, particularly children around the world. Her association with Aravind started over 30 years ago. She was instrumental in establishing the paediatric eye care services at Aravind and has always been a constant support in developing this specialty to what it is today. Aravind has lost a mentor forever; her passing has left behind a void that can never be filled.
