Burian Lecturers
The Burian Lecture was instituted in 1975 and is the highlight of each International Congress. The lecture commemorates Dr. Hermann Burian`s significant contributions to strabismology and his constant support of orthoptics. The honour of presenting the lecture is bestowed upon an orthoptist voted for by secret ballot after having been nominated to the Council of Management and having submitted curriculum vitae.
The IOA President introduces the chosen candidate during the scientific proceedings at Congress. A certificate in recognition of the lecture is presented.
