    COS/Coherent-AMT Award for Excellence in Ophthalmic Research

    The COS/Coherent Award for Excellence in Ophthalmic Research was first presented in 1995 at the COS's 60th Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Victoria. Originally the award was to recognize advances in refractive laser surgery but this was expanded in later years to include all innovations in ophthalmic research.

    Coherent-AMT initiated the award and has been the only sponsor since its inception. The award is open to residents, fellow and medical students working in recognized Canadian ophthalmology programs.
