Congratulations to Susana Marcos, the David R. Williams Director of the Center for Visual Science, the Nicholas George Professor in Optics, and a professor of Ophthalmology and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester, whose paper received the 2025 Obstbaum Award for the best original article published in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.

Susana served as the scientific coordinating author of the study, which reports results from a novel measurement of ocular dominance using a binocular visual simulator in several eye clinics, and represents a major multidisciplinary, multi-centric milestone for improvements in the correction of presbyopia.  Dr. Scott MacRae, director of refractive services in the Department of Ophthalmology at URochester, is a co-author. The award was presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Annual Meeting on Sunday, April 12, 2026 in Washington DC.
