Janoff |
This award was established by AOCLE in 2007 to honor the memory of Dr. Lester E. Janoff, who was an exceptional optometric educator, administrator, contact lens clinician and researcher. His professional career encompassed private practice, contact lens research for industry, and contact lens education at three optometry schools (Pennsylvania College of Optometry, New England College of Optometry and Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry). He was a Diplomate in the Cornea and Contact lens Section of the American Academy of Optometry and Associate Dean of NSUCO. Most importantly, this award was established to honor the memory of a beloved optometric mentor and friend.
The award is presented annually to the AOCLE member who has demonstrated excellence in the area of contact lens-related publications, contact lens education, and research. The criteria for the award include publications in refereed journals as well as chapters and textbooks. Ideally the recipient will show a broad range of contributions in the above areas during the year preceding the award selection. |
