Guests of Honor
Harold Ridley, MD, FRCS, FRS
Edward W. D. Norton, MD Dr. Norton's commitment to the American Academy of Ophthalmology is unparalleled. The pivotal role he has played in the evolution of the Academy during its separation from otolaryngology and its merger with the American Association of Ophthalmology has contributed greatly to the success of that evolution.
Dr. Ridley's pioneering efforts in the field of intraocular lens implants have led us to revolutionary changes in the management of patients with cataracts, and to the successful rehabilitation of millions of patients throughout the world. As we enter the fifth decade of intraocular lens implants, I am pleased to honor Dr. Ridley at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Dr. Norton has also provided a model for all academic departments of ophthalmology by establishing a strong scientific and clinical group, and maintaining effective cooperation and communication with the community of practicing ophthalmologists. In addition, he has firmly established, in the medical community and among our patients, the value of cooperation between academic and community ophthalmologists in the evaluation of new and controversial clinical techI).iques.

Abraham Pollen, MD As the American Academy of Ophthalmology reaffirms its commitment to comprehensive primary care, we note that Dr. Pollen epitomizes the caring physician who is available to all who require his services, and who provides that care with compassion and great skill. He has not only maintained his skills by constantly acquiring new knowledge, but has also imparted his special knowledge in the area of ocular motor disorders to hundreds of young ophthalmologists-in -training. The Academy honors him not only for his personal accomplishments, but as a symbol of the thousands of members who are committed to the comprehensive, skillful and compassionate care of their patients.
