[Castroviejo Medalist | Dohlman Award | Troutman Cornea Prize]
Each year the Society names the most outstanding individual in the field of cornea and anterior segment of the eye to receive the Castroviejo Medal and to deliver the Castroviejo Lecture at the Society’s scientific symposium at the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting. This is the Society’s highest award and is given in recognition of exceptional contributions in support of the Society’s mission: to promote knowledge, research and understanding in cornea, external disease and refractive surgery. The award is named for Ramon Castroviejo, MD, the father of modern corneal transplant surgery and the inspiration for the founding of the Cornea Society.

Dr. Dohlman has trained hundreds of fellows, many of whom went on to become full professors. His commitment to teaching and education has enabled many of his students to leave their mark on the field of ophthalmology.
