A given moment of inspiration can range from being a profound experience to a subtle realization during a quiet moment of reflection. Here I shall recount the primary research domains of vision science that have defined my academic career in the context of the three types of inspiration defined above. These research domains are ophthalmic markers of diabetic neuropathy, ocular response to contact lens wear, contact lens-induced parainflammation, contact lens-associated microbial keratitis, grading scales for contact lens complications, contact lens prescribing surveys, material properties of contact lenses, contact lens compliance, history of contact lenses, ocular thermography, and ophthalmic bibliometrics. The notions of \"being inspired\" and \"personal inspiration\" are necessarily subjective, although I have endeavored to present them here in a scientific context. Conversely, the notion of \"inspiring others\" can be objectively gauged, at least in part, by counting article citations or the number of times articles are read online or downloaded from a journal website.
