Mansour F. Armaly (February 25, 1927 – August 19, 2005) was a Palestinian physician who researched the modern medical treatment of glaucoma. Armaly was born in Shefa Amr, Palestine, prior to the establishment of the state of Israel. He received his B.A. (1947) and M.D. (1951) from the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. After completing his residency in Beirut at the American University Hospital, he left in 1955 to attend the University of Iowa, from which he received the M.Sc. in 1957. Armaly became an American citizen and joined the university's faculty, remaining for thirteen years. In 1970, he accepted a position as professor and chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at the George Washington University Medical Center, in Washington, D.C., serving in that role for 27 years, until 1996. From 1980 to 1987, Armaly served as President of the Pan-American Glaucoma Society. He died of cancer at the hospital where he had long worked at the age of 78. He was survived by his wife of 55 years, Aida Armaly, and his two children, Fareed Armaly, an artist in Berlin, and Raya Armaly Harrison, an ophthalmologist in Columbia, Maryland.〔("Mansour Armaly, 78, Leader of Early Study of Glaucoma, Dies," New York Times, September 19, 2005. ) (Requires registration.)〕 ==Legacy== Armaly was a member of the University of Iowa Department of Ophthalmology faculty from 1958–1970.
