Steven Dell MD is a refractive and cataract surgeon in Austin, Texas, USA and he has been involved in so many different avenues of ophthalmology in addition to his clinical practice. More than 15 years ago, he worked with development of the first generation of IOLs which attempted to restore accommodation and we thoroughly discuss this topic in the podcast. He also was founding president of AECOS, the American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgery, which promotes innovation, education, and advocacy while also organizing multiple outstanding eye meetings per year in the USA and in Europe. And he is also known for offering guidance and sage advice to younger ophthalmologists as they navigate their careers, me included!
