The IOL Power Club began because of a happen-stance meeting on the last day of the ASCRS meeting in San Diego on May 4, 2004. Thomas Olsen, MD (Århus, Denmark), had visited me in Santa Monica for 2 days prior to the meeting. On the last day of the meeting, he asked me to meet him in the large conference area to discuss the study we were working on. While we were chat-ting, Jaime Aramberri, MD (San Sebastian, Spain), was passing by and I called him over to introduce him to Dr. Olsen. A remarkably inter-esting discussion ensued regarding ELP determi-nation. Ten minutes later, Wolfgang Haigis, PhD (Würzburg, Germany), was lugging his bags across the other side of the large room and waved goodbye to me. I waved him over and introduc-tions were made, and then the discussion by the four of us became even more interesting.I sat back for a moment and realized that this was an amazing interaction among us four IOL power fanatics that was a unique opportunity. But ince everyone was on their way home, I sug-gested that we continue this discussion at some future time when we would have more opportu-nity to fully discuss these subjects. Since the next ESCRS meeting (that I would be attending) was going to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2005, I suggested that we might meet somewhere prior to that. Since I love San Sebastian (I first visited in 2001), I asked Dr. Aramberri if he would be willing to host the get-together in his city. He embraced the idea wholeheartedly.After we returned home, we had all exchanged email addresses and subsequent correspondence led to Dr. Olsen inviting Sverker Norrby, PhD (Groningen, Holland), and me inviting H John Shammas, MD (Los Angeles, CA), to join the meeting if they were interested. They both said they were and they made plans to take part. Being very busy, I did very little to get things moving over the remainder of 2004 and even into 2005. My wife, Marcia, continuously asked me if I had done anything to follow up on this meeting, but I just never got to it. It was only due to her constant persistence and reminders that I finally restarted the email correspondence to get things rolling again. Marcia felt this was a very special idea and it should definitely come to pass; for some rea-son, this seemed important in her mind. I must admit, without her perseverance, we might never have gotten together. Through email, the dates for the first meeting were set for September 6–8, 2005.
