The Charles F. Prentice Medal
The Charles F. Prentice Medal Award (established 1958) is awarded annually to an outstanding scientist who has contributed significantly to the advancement of knowledge in the visual sciences. The winner need not be a Fellow of the Academy, nor an optometrist. The recipient of the Prentice Medal is expected to present a scientific paper to the Annual Academy Meeting. Any Fellow of the Academy may submit to the Awards Committee a name for consideration for this honor, along with a brief curriculum vitae.
