Roger F. Steinert receives OIS Innovator Award

NEW ORLEANS — Roger F. Steinert, MD, was presented with the 2016 OIS Innovator Award here at the Ophthalmology Innovation Summit preceding the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting. “I think many people know that he has been involved in excimer laser research and femtosecond laser research, but he was also involved in a lot of good research in YAG lasers when we first started to incorporate those into our practice,” Richard L. Lindstrom, MD, said in a video tribute. “You are an innovator, someone that I am proud to know, someone whose work I have appreciated and find useful in my own learnings, but more than that you have been a lifelong friend, a special friend and a resilient friend.”
