2017 Invited speaker at the Australia New Zealand Cornea Society to Dr. Michael D. Straiko

2016 R. Townley Paton Award to Dr. Mark A. Terry

This R. Townley Paton Award is the Eye Bank Association of America’s highest honor for corneal physicians. This award is presented annually to an ophthalmologist in recognition of his/her outstanding contribution to eye banking and EBAA. Since 1982, esteemed cornea physicians who exemplify the precepts of R. Townley Paton, MD, the father of modern eye banking and the founder of the first eye bank in the united states, have received this notable award.
