A refractive surgeon from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) was recently named the winner of a top honor for refractive surgeons given by the International Society of Refractive Surgeons (ISRS), a partner of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO).
Scott MacRae, MD, director of the Refractive Surgery Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Flaum Eye Institute, will be awarded the Jose I. Barraquer Lecture and Award at the upcoming AAO annual meeting in October. The award reportedly honors refractive surgeons who have made significant contributions to the field and who demonstrate dedication in advancing the science of refractive vision correction.
