“Dr. Baylis is a prince of a human being and has been dedicated to serving, teaching and supporting his ophthalmology colleagues throughout his career,” Rutgard said.
Due to a recent health challenge, Baylis could not be at the meeting to accept his award. He sent his best regards to everyone in attendance.
“Thank you for this great honor. I have always liked coming to the Hawaiian Eye meeting and have great memories of times I have spent in the audience, as well as lecturing. This meeting has allowed me to form many meaningful relationships with my ophthalmology colleagues,” Baylis said in a note read by Rutgard.
