The Twenty-Five–Year History of the Castroviejo Cornea Society Cornea 19(5): 577–592, 2000. © 2000 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc., Philadelphia The Twenty-five–Year History of the Castroviejo Cornea Society Gary N.

It thrives today as an international organization City and had undergone serious abdominal surgery that he was not dedicated to the advancement of knowledge about the cornea and expected to survive. Drs. Polack (New York), Hernando Cardona (New York), Guillermo Pico (Puerto Rico), A. Gerard DeVoe (New York), Jorge Buxton (New York), L. Uribe (New York), L. Fernandez-Vega (Spain), Francisco Losada (New York), and Paul Galvo˜o (Brazil) agreed on the formation of a corneal society that would be called “The Castroviejo Society.” Drs. Don Willard (Pennsylvania) and C. Urrets (Buenos Aries) were also part of this organizing group but could not attend the organizational meeting. It is interesting to note that significant efforts were made by some to name the organization the “American Corneal Society”; none- theless, the society was to carry the Castroviejo name. The organizing participants decided that the first meeting of the society would be held in the Fall of 1975 during the week of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) meeting in Dallas, TX, U.S.A., and the initial officers were Dr. Fernando Losada (President), Dr. Hernando Cardona (Vice-President), and Dr. Frank Polack (Secretary-Treasurer). The remaining members of the group served as the Executive Committee. Dr. Polack agreed to pursue member recruitment and preparation of the by-laws. It was agreed that the Castroviejo Society should be a scientific society of international character, devoted to the knowledge of diseases of the cornea and the anterior segment of the eye. The membership was to be limited to 100 members, and presentation of a thesis would be a requisite for full membership. An invited lecture and an award was to be given annually. Approximately 30 ophthalmologists attended the organizational meeting in Dallas in the Fall of 1975, and 30 signed up as mem- bers. The leadership then agreed that the first Scientific Award and Lecture would be scheduled for the October, 1976, meeting of the AAO in Las Vegas, NV, U.S.A. Dr. A.G. DeVoe gave the first Castroviejo Lecture in Las Vegas on October 5, 1976. During this meeting, the first by-laws were accepted with few modifications. The membership agreed that the Castroviejo Society would meet FIG. 1. Ramon Castroviejo, M.D., namesake of the Castroviejo Cor- each year in proximity to the annual meeting of the AAO. nea Society.
