Dr. Gerhard Zinser, co-founder and managing director of Heidelberg Engineering, is reportedly the first non-clinician to be honored with the Founders' Award by the Optometric Glaucoma Society.
Zinser was reportedly awarded for his significant and long-standing contribution to diagnostic imaging in eye care, such as the launch of Heidelberg's first diagnostic imaging device geared towards glaucoma diagnostics in 1991, the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT).
Since the formation of the Optometric Glaucoma Society, the Founders' Award has only been awarded to three clinician scientists.
