Robert J. Barnes, M.D. Award
Dr. Robert J. Barnes has been a staff member of the Loyola
Ophthalmology Department since 1983. Dr. Barnes wanted to reward
residents for their fine contributions in research while they were
in their residency, and also motivate them to pursue further
education in ophthalmology, so he established a scholarship fund,
the Robert J. Barnes Award. This award is presented to a Loyola
Ophthalmology Resident at the end of each academic year.

Each year The Chicago
Ophthalmological Society (COS) solicits papers from area
residents. The resident who submits the paper deemed to be
best in terms of research techniques, writing quality, and clinical
or scientific relevance is awarded the Beem-Fisher Award.

representative from each of the Chicago programs and two members of
the COS who are not associated with any of the resident programs.
