It can also measure the effectiveness of correcting for presbyopia.

Ease the Burden of IOL Testing The IOL Testing Suite from M&S solves the problem **Visit Booth 1013 at the ASCRS/ASOA Meeting** best view of the parade but George could not be found until we saw him walking triumphantly in full costume right in the middle of the procession. Past president of ASCRS Jack Dodick, MD, recalled the academic accomplishments but will remem- ber him through the "many hours together discussing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Doyle Stulting, MD, another past presi- dent of ASCRS, worked with George for more than 30 years. He recalls George as a mentor, colleague, partner, and friend. "George lived a life of superlatives. He was a unique individual who played a pivotal role in my academic success. He touched many of our lives, leading and encouraging us to excel in our aca- demic and non-academic lives by his example—an example I will never be able to equal. I only regret that I did not tell him one more time how much he meant to me." George took refractive surgery from a shadowy peripheral area of ophthalmology to a respected and scholarly area of study. George was an original in almost every way imaginable. His legacy is extraordi- nary, and he will be missed. Contact information Donnenfeld: ericdonnenfeld@gmail.com Remembrances of George O. Waring III, MD Describing who George Oral Waring III was is like blind men trying to de- scribe an elephant. I first met George in 1973 when he wandered into my fellowship. I asked him if he had asked to visit or if he had a place to stay. He answered no to both ques- tions. This was my first exposure to one side of George. We shared several articles and many, many podium lectures over the years. We took the oral boards together and spent one night listen- ing to live jazz. We visited Sacra- mento every Memorial Day for the Jazz Festival and would listen to live jazz in any city in which we would happen to be lecturing together. We spent many New Year's Eves togeth- er. George was with us on several Aegean Cornea Meetings since 1992. We would walk the posters to- gether at each AAO meeting. Most important, we equally shared our deepest personal emotions. Words that describe George are enthusiasm, high energy, inquisi- tive, scientific, perfectionist, skilled continued on page 38
