The Albert D. Ruedemann, Jr. Lecture
The Ruedemann Lecture was established in the late 1980s to honor the memory of Dr. Albert D. Ruedemann, Jr., one of the creators and founding members of the American Eye Study Club. Just as Ed Isbey, Jr. is now, Dr. Ruedemann was the driving force behind the AESC for many years and served as its Secretary-Treasurer for nine years and as its President in 1967 during his last year as an Active member. He was a brilliant and innovative clinician, surgeon, and thinker who practiced in Detroit, Michigan, where his father, also an ophthalmologist, was a Professor at Wayne State University and the first Director of the Kresge Eye Institute. For more than two decades, many of our profession's leading figures have delivered this lecture in Dr. Ruedemann's honor.

AESC Foundation - Jerry & Donna Knauer Lecture
The American Eye Study Club Foundation was established in 2003 as a charitable trust to support the educational and philanthropic goals of the AESC. An annual lecture was started the following year to highlight the Foundation and to recognize a member who embodies the principles for which it stands. At the 50th AESC annual meeting in 2007, it is fitting that this lecture be named for Jerry and Donna Knauer, a charter member of the AESC and strong supporters of the Foundation.
