my beloved Sensai Konyama who has not only been my teacher but also my inspirations in many ways. i am fortunate enough to study in Ramathibodi while he was a professor in the department of ophthalmology there. we knew him as a professor in ophthalmology who is a math genius. 

his efforts in setting up the public health ophthalmology in Korat Thailand was a remarkable example reflecting what a true global public health person should lead by actions and dedication. 

his values and principles about life were also extraordinary and i was fortunate to be mentored by him while accompanying his good friend and my boss Dr Uthai Sudsukh to the EB meeting there in the late 80’s.

to me personally, he is really a unique personality not to be easily found in the decades to come. while it is a great loss to the public health ophthalmology community, we can all be proud to share his legacy and continue doing what he taught, valued and believed in.

may he live long thru our on-going work and passing on his legacy
