Rhode Island ophthalmologist Joseph Dowling Jr., MD, died May 12 at 98, according to an obituary posted in The Providence Journal.
Dr. Dowling attended Tufts University Medical School in Boston and Brown University in Providence, R.I., where he eventually went on to become an associate professor of ophthalmology.
He completed an ophthalmology residency at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston before opening a private practice in Providence in 1957.
The practice evolved into the Rhode Island Eye Institute, which employed more than a dozen ophthalmologists and optometrists by the time Dr. Dowling retired at 90.
