Kellogg Eye Center ophthalmic imagers earn recognition

The U-M Kellogg Eye Center Imaging Department recently earned Best of Show at the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Ophthalmic Photographers’ Society annual educational program.

The artistic, diagnostic images created by ophthalmic imagers are important tools in eye care. Ophthalmic imaging may show conditions of the face, skin and eyes, or tell spectacular stories about the condition of nerves and blood vessels inside the eye.

Tim Steffens, C.R.A., OCT-C, FOPS, director of imaging and information systems at the Kellogg Eye Center, earned first place in external photography, which was one of seven top awards earned by the team. It’s the fourth consecutive year that the Kellogg Eye Center has earned the Best of Show Award at the AAO/OPS meeting.

Their images will be exhibited during the AAO/OPS conference in New Orleans from Nov. 11-14.
