In respect and appreciation for their sustained service to the organization, the American Academy of Ophthalmology recognizes all past and present recipients of the Life Achievement Honor Award with this year’s Special Recognition Award. These individuals have accumulated a minimum of 60 volunteer points in service to the Academy. Through their participation in the scientific program of the annual meeting, their work as authors and editors of Academy publications and their service as leaders, volunteers and advocates, these members are the mainstay of the organization. The Academy honors all of those who, through their enduring volunteerism, ensure the Academy’s continued ability to serve its mission of providing the public with the best possible eye care:
