23 2022 APACRS CERTIFIED EDUCATORS (A.C.E) AWARDS Skills transfer becomes progressively more crucial to providing quality eye care as the fields of cataract and refractive surgery continue to advance. The APACRS Certified Educator (A.C.E.) program was launched in 2002 to motivate ophthalmic surgeons to play a more active role in disseminating the latest advances and techniques to their colleagues. This year’s awards are supported by Alcon, Johnson and Johnson Vision, and ZEISS. Dr. Con Moshegov was born, raised, and educated in Sydney. In 1994, he undertook a corneal fellowship in England and performed his first refractive laser procedure. This began his journey in the field of refractive surgery.
