Emiko Adachi's Award 

The Award, in the value of $3000, is provided through a generous endowment from Emiko Adachi upon retirement from her position as Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at Chiba University, Japan. Hers was a long and glorious career with many honours, culminating in official recognition from the Japanese government. Despite all of this, she remained extraordinarily proud of her long membership of ISCEV, and her outstanding record of service to this society.
The Award is given to those who, in some measure, have matched this record of service to ISCEV.
