Abstract
The American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS), in appreciation, recognizes members who are active contributors to the Journal of VitreoRetinal Diseases (JVRD) through the JVRD Distinguished Contributor Awards Program.
Participants accumulate points for their submissions and/or peer reviews toward recognition as Distinguished Contributors (at least 5 points earned) or Master Contributors (15 or more points earned); points are cumulative since launch. Recipients are recognized annually at the ASRS Annual Meeting and on the ASRS website at www.asrs.org/JVRD-Contributor-Award.
The ASRS thanks the following members who have achieved a new or next-level Contributor Award since April 2025.
