his year's Charles D.
Kelman Innovator's
Lecture will focus on
IOL selection.
Drawing on insights from a
mathematical tradition outside tra-
ditional optics, Warren E. Hill, MD,
FACS, Mesa, Ariz., will describe a
method of IOL power calculation
quite different from what is
currently in use.
Over the past several decades,
truly remarkable advances in IOL
technology have been made, but the
way in which the necessary power of
the IOL is calculated prior to surgery
has moved forward quite slowly.
Modern ophthalmology has
advanced in many areas by success-
fully borrowing from other fields.
Dr. Hill will demonstrate how the
accuracy of cataract surgery refrac-
tive outcomes may be moved to the
next level by adapting technology
from an unlikely source.
Dr. Hill, a member at large of
the ASCRS Governing Board, is
medical director of East Valley
Ophthalmology in Arizona, where
he has worked for more than 27
years. After earning his medical de-
gree from the University of Arizona,
he completed his ophthalmology
training at the University of
Rochester in Rochester, N.Y. Since
then, he has devoted the majority
of his professional activities to
performing challenging anterior
segment surgery for other ophthal-
mologists and to the mathematics of
intraocular lens power calculations.
Dr. Hill has delivered more than
550 papers and 12 named lecture-
ships to ophthalmic societies both
in the United States and internation-
ally in 34 countries. In 2007, Dr.
Hill was appointed the cataract and
anterior segment subspecialty editor
for the American Academy of Oph-
thalmology's Ophthalmic News and
Education (O.N.E.) Network, a posi-
tion he held until 2010. He has also
received the American Academy of
Ophthalmology's Achievement and
Secretariat Awards. He was named
