PERRY ROSENTHAL M.D.

I just found out Dr. Rosenthal had passed. I was lucky enough to be referred by my doctor at the U of M Kellogg Eye Center in Michigan. My keratoconos had gotten progressively worse and I decided to finally go ahead with a double cornea transplant. Unfortunately, blood vessels had grown into my cornea making the surgery very risky & a possibility of losing my sight was too high. Luckily Dr. Soong knew Dr. Rosenthal & was able to get me an appt in Dec 2005. Durning his exam, Dr. Perry...

There was no one like him. We have been to many doctors and Dr Rosenthal was a rare breed. Caring,kind,compassionate and brilliant. He will not ever be forgotten

When my husband had RSD in his eyes,not one doctor believed him. Dr. Rosenthal did and did everything possible to help. Robert and I will never forget you Dr. Rosenthal. You were one in a million. May your memory be a blessing

My husband and I were planning on contacting Dr Rosenthal for a long overdue visit with him last October when I first heard of his death. I was so completely grieved that I could not write a remembrance of him at the time. It is not surprising that I would be so grieved, for I owed my life to him and thought of him every morning with thankfulness that I could open my eyes because of him. In 2009 I came to him with a bag over my head. I had constant eye pain. In addition to the...

I am so sorry to hear of Perry's passing. I owe my sight to Dr. Rosenthal. I met him as a patient at the Boston Foundation for Sight in 2005, as my kerataconus was continuing to progress and could no longer wear regular contact lenses. I am so thankful for Dr. Rosenthal's kindness and his dedication to helping so many people restore their sight. Sincere condolences to the family.

How very saddened I am to hear today of Perry's passing, months after the fact. I will always admire Perry's brilliance as a doctor and inventor and his compassion in treating patients. He truly worked miracles restoring vision! I had the honor of serving on the board of the Boston Foundation for Sight in the early years. My condolences on this monumental loss.

Perry saw my son after dozens of doctors dismissed his pain. He immediately understood the problem and took my son to the Mass Eye and Ear to view his corneas under a confocal microscope and saw constant nerve regeneration. Perry's brilliance coupled with his compassion made him a true giant among men and a living angel.
Today he lives with the angels and we will forever miss him.
Rest In Peace, my friend.

Dr. Rosenthal was my eye doctor in my teen years and how lucky I was! He fitted me with these new-fangled things called hard contact lenses when I was 15 in 1966. I am still wearing hard lenses over 50 years later and am thankful every day for how he changed my life for the better. God grant him peace for a life of caring for others so that we may see. Quite literally. He was a blessing.
