Contributor Awards

Troutman Award
For more than 15 years, the Troutman Award has stood for excellence. With a $5,000 prize, it encourages and rewards outstanding contributions to literature by a clinician or vision scientist. The award stands as a tradition to honor Richard Troutman, MD. We encourage young authors to contribute articles to the Journal of Refractive Surgery to further shape the hallmark of the Troutman Award. The winner will be announced at the ISRS fall meeting.

Open to ISRS members 45 years of age or younger.
