Following his graduation from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in June, 1970, Dr. Sherman was appointed to the staff of the Optometric Center of New York and the newly established SUNY State College of Optometry as a clinical instructor. Over the years he has held many positions including Chief of the Ocular Disease and Special Testing clinic and then the Director of Professional Services. Dr. Sherman is presently a Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Clinical Optometric Science Department.

Dr. Sherman is a founding member of both the International Foundation for Optic Nerve Disease (IFOND) and the Optometric Retinal Society (ORS) and is the immediate past president of ORS. Dr. Sherman is optometry’s most prolific author and lecturer with over 750 publications and over 3,000 lectures both nationally and internationally. He has 4 books to his credit over the past 5 years and his Retina Revealed website (www.retinarevealed.com) has over 2,000 retinal images in hundreds of cases, with another hundred images added monthly. His RR is email blasted to 33,000 OD’s every several weeks and illustrates the most recent technology for the diagnosis of retinal and optic nerve disease.
