At VisionApp, we have always maintained that innovation is only real when backed by the highest scientific rigor. Today, that commitment is being recognized internationally. We are proud to announce that our co-founder, Norberto López-Gil, has been honored with the ARVO Silver Fellow medal (2026).
This recognition, awarded during the annual conference of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) in Denver, places our team among the global elite of visual research.
What does being an ARVO Fellow mean?
The Fellow (FARVO) distinction is not a one-time award, but a recognition of a career of excellence and service to vision science. Being named a Silver Fellow implies having maintained an exceptional standard of scientific contribution, leadership, and rigor over many years within the most prestigious ocular research organization in the world.
What value does this recognition bring to VisionApp?
