The Department of Ophthalmology was created in 1908 as part of the IU School of Medicine. Frank A. Morrison, MD, served as the first chairman of the department. The first full time departmental chair was Fred M. Wilson, Sr., MD in 1954. In 1954, Fred M. Wilson Sr., MD, took the helm as the first full-time chair for the department and remained in position until 1979. Under his leadership, the department saw tremendous growth and change within its curriculum.
