He served his residency in ophthalmology at Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital in New Orleans from July 1965 to June 1967. While a resident, he also was a teaching fellow at Tulane.

      “He was a clinical associate professor of ophthalmology at Tulane from 1967 to 1993. Dr. Antony also was a private-practice ophthalmologist before moving to New Orleans Eye Surgery Center in recent years.

      “He served at Touro Infirmary as active senior staff from 1967 to 1993 and was chairman of the department of ophthalmology from 1978 to 1988. He was a senior visiting surgeon at Charity Hospital from 1967 to 1993 and served as courtesy staff at Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, St. Charles General Hospital, Sara Mayo Hospital and Baptist Hospital.

He was an elected fellow to the American Academy of Ophthalmology in 1969 and the American College of Surgeons in 1978.

      “Dr. Antony was a member of the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology, where he served as Program Committee Chairman, 1973-79; Executive Committee member, 1974-84; president, 1981-83; Continuing Education Committee, chairman, 1985-90; and Membership Committee chairman, 1988-94.
