He is on the program planning committee of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the International Society of Refractive Surgery and is an associate editor for the Journal of Refractive Surgery. He is cofounder and organizer of the International Congress on Wavefront Sensing and Aberration-Free Refractive Correction. He has 20 years of experience in excimer laser research, and currently is investigating the causes of presbyopia and restoration of accommodation, aswell as wavefront imaging of the eye for customized laser vision correction. He is an international lecturer and is widely published. Raymond A. Applegate, OD, PhD, is the second of four children born to K. Edwin Applegate and Elizabeth Dilts Applegate. He was born in Bloomington, Ind in 1949 and attended Indiana University from Kindergarten through his Bachelor of Arts (1971), Doctor of Optometry (1975), and his Master of Science in Physiological Optics (1976).
