Society Recognizes Dohlman for Excellence in Teaching and Education
(Las Vegas, NV) The Cornea Society recognized Claes H. Dohlman, MD for
his excellence in teaching and education during the Federated Societies
Scientific Session in Las Vegas on November 9th. The Society recently
created the Claes H. Dohlman Award for Excellence in Teaching and Education
and awarded Dr. Dohlman with the first award for his years of teaching
and educating young ophthalmologists in the field of cornea. Dr. Dohlman
created the fellowship program at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary
and the Retina Foundation (now Schepens Eye Research Institute) which
was the first formal corneal fellowship program in the United States.
Dohlman has trained hundreds of fellows many of which are full professors.
His commitment to teaching and education has enabled many of his students
to leave their mark on the field of Ophthalmology. The Society looks
forward to recognizing others with this award who has demonstrated the
same dedication and steadfastness to the field of cornea.
Dohlman Award recipients:
2007 Peter R. Laibson, MD
2006 Claes H. Dohlman, MD, PhD
Richard C. Troutman Establishes the Troutman Cornea Prize for Young Clinician Investigators
Dr. Richard Troutman, one of the founders of the Castroviejo Cornea Society and its second president, has graciously established the Troutman Cornea Prize. The award will be bestowed annually by the Society for the paper published in Cornea during the previous year judged to be most outstanding and innovative, and authored by an investigator 40 years of age or younger.
One of the luminaries in the field—surgical innovator, prolific author, teacher, and organizational leader—Dr. Troutman and his wife, Suzanne Veronneau Troutman, have established several significant incentive awards designed to foster creativity and innovation among clinicians early in their careers. The latest of these is the Troutman Cornea Prize set up in perpetuity by the Troutmans to cultivate emerging talent in the field.
Dr. Troutman served as president of the Cornea Society in 1970 and was instrumental in associating the Society meetings with the meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. In 1967 Dr. Troutman was the first ophthalmologist to develop systematic microsurgery for correction of corneal astigmatism. In 1980, Drs. Troutman, Barraquer and Friedlander founded the International Society for Refractive Kertatoplasty(ISRK) to broaden the scope of investigation, innovation, and teaching of refractive keratoplasty.
In 2005, the Cornea Society honored Dr. Troutman at World Cornea Congress V as one of five recipients of the World Cornea Medal for his lifetime of achievement in the field along with fellow luminaries, Claes Dohlman, Saiichi Mishima, Yves Pouliquen, and Frank Polack.
The Troutman Cornea Prize, to be awarded by a committee of judges each year, will provide an award of $5,000 to the recipient, as well as the opportunity to present his/her work at the annual scientific meeting of the Cornea Society just prior to the AAO meeting. The first award will be presented in Atlanta in fall 2008. With the establishment of the Troutman Cornea Prize, Dr. Troutman’s legacy will carry his vision for applied scientific advancement of the field forward to future generations of corneal surgeons. We join all the members of the Society and the many patients of the future who will benefit from the advancements engendered by this award in thanking Dr. Troutman for his vision and his gift.
