He is the first American ever to win this prestigious award, which was established to recognize Relya Zivojnovic, one of the founders of the vitreoretinal surgical specialty. A pioneer in the field of vitreoretinal and macular surgery, Bovino invented the intraoperative use of the laser during retinal detachment surgery and wrote and edited the first textbook on macular surgery. He also was one of the founders of the Vitreous Society and the American Society of Retina Specialists, where he currently serves as a founding director.
