Rockville MD — The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology is honored to announce the 2009 inaugural class of distinguished Fellows. The title of ARVO Fellow recognizes members for their accomplishments, leadership and contributions to the Association. The two levels of Fellows, Gold and Silver, are determined by a rigorous point system.
By accepting this honor, ARVO anticipates that Fellows will continue to serve as role models and mentors for individuals pursuing careers in vision and ophthalmology research and to further ARVO's vision "… to facilitate the advancement of vision research and the prevention and cure of disorders of the visual system worldwide." This includes advancing basic and clinical knowledge and serving as the leading international forum for vision research and the primary advocate for vision science worldwide.
"We are very excited to offer this new prestige to our membership. We know that it will galvanize current members and inspire future ones," said ARVO President, Todd P Margolis MD PhD.
The ARVO fellows will be officially inducted at the Association's Annual Meeting this May. ARVO congratulates the Fellows and thanks them for their dedication.
