Rosario Brancato Retina Award

It is with my great pleasure that I announce that Rosario Brancato Retina Award has been established again this year and will be awarded during the 8th OCT & RETINA FORUM (Milan, 21^st – 22^nd March).

Our goal is to institute an award in the field of the retina to commemorate Professor Rosario Brancato, a person who dedicated his entire life to the treatment of patients affected by retinal diseases, contributing as a pioneer to the introduction of fluorescein angiography, OCT examinations and laser therapy.

The award will be recognized to a doctor (<45 yrs) who meets the requirements listed on the web site www.brancatoaward.eu
