Corneal Surgeons

The Paton Society was formed in 1985 to honor Dr. R. Townley Paton, the founder and driving force behind the first eye bank established in the United States in 1944, and to provide a link between EBAA and corneal surgeons. Each year, the prestigious R. Townley Paton Award is given to an ophthalmologist to recognize his or her commitment to EBAA and Eye Banking.
