The qualifying criteria:
The Kritzinger Safari Award Lecture is a prestigious named lecture in honour of the late Dr Michiel Kritzinger. He distinguished himself as a pioneer in modern refractive surgery and identified the need to promote the subspecialty. As part of his efforts to further the field of refractive sugery, he originally instituted the lecture as the “Safari Lecture” in 1999 during a local meeting of the ISRS in Swaziland. After his passing in April 2000, the lecture was renamed to the Kritzinger Safari Lecture.
Recipients of this award lecture have to exhibit the same character traits which Dr Kritzinger was known for, namely to be an original thinker and innovator, demonstrate the same leadership and perseverance, as well as show the energy so typical of him. Furthermore the recipient has to make a significant contribution to the field of refractive surgery.
Cornea SA, founded in 2015, offers like-minded Ophthalmologists a sub-speciality forum focusing on corneal and external disease.
With many exciting plans for the future, the group aims to continually raise the bar in terms of corneal matters. The invited guest speaker will be an internationally recognized authority on corneal and external disease, be regarded as a pioneer and will have distinguished him- / herself as one who challenges conventional thinking. Furthermore, the individual will be held in high regard by his / her peers; to such an extent that all of us would be poorer had it not been for their significant contribution to the field.
