Renato Ambrósio Jr. (born in 25 Aug 1972 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a brazilian corneal and refractive surgery specialist. He is medical director of the VIsareRio and Instituto de Olhos Renato Ambrósio. Since 2007, he is part of the faculty of the post-graduation courses in Ophthalmology at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ), as a professor of cornea and refractive surgery. Since 2011, he is also an associate professor of post-graduation in Ophthalmology at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP).

Early career
Graduated in Medicine from Fundação Técnico Educacional Souza Marques in 1995, he served the Brazilian Air Force as a Physician in Ophthalmology at the Afonsos Air Base Hospital (HAAF) in 1996, conciliating his first year of residence in Ophthalmology at the Souza Aguiar Municipal Hospital. In 1997, in search of excellence training in Ophthalmology, he moved to São Paulo to be a resident of the Tadeu Cvintal Institute of Ophthalmology, where he was also a fellow with specialization in the anterior segment with a focus on cornea and external diseases. With the certificate that validates the foreign medical diploma in North America of the ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates), for having passed the tests of the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination), Prof. Renato Ambrósio was able to apply for an official fellowship with the right to a scholarship and to be able to attend patients and to perform surgery. During the application process, he was invited to accept, outside the matching system, a fellow position in the cornea refractive surgery department at the University of Washington in Seattle, under the guidance of the chairman and head of the Ophthalmology department, Prof. Dr. Steven Wilson, MD, who is the atual Director of Cornea and Research at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (Cole Eye Institute). For more than two productive years, his clinical, surgical and scientific training was consolidated. In this period, Prof. Renato Ambrósio received important honors and awards, including the Grand Champion at the 2002 International Cataract and Refractive Congress Video Festival in São Paulo, the Fellowship Travel Award at the International Congress of Eye Research (ICER 2002) in Geneva and the Best Of Show Award at the conference of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in Orlando.

Career
In November 2002, he returned to Rio de Janeiro to establish himself as an ophthalmologist along with his mother at his family's clinic, the Instituto de Olhos Renato Ambrósio. In May 2004, he completed his postgraduate degree with a PhD in Sciences from the University of São Paulo (USP), under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Newton Kara José and co-orientation of Prof. Dr. Milton Ruiz Alves, with his thesis on the work he has developed in Seattle on corneal scarring in human eyes. In 2009, Prof. Renato Ambrosio also opened a new clinic in Rio de Janeiro, VisareRio, located in the heart of Ipanema.

Research and Academic Activity
His participation in congresses is active and intense, both in order to keep up-to-date in the sub-specialties of Cornea, Cataract and Refractive Surgery, as well as to disseminate his knowledge and clinical experience. Prof Renato Ambrósio created a research group designated by “Rio de Janeiro Corneal Tomography and Biomechanics Study Group”. Their research work on wavefront, topography, tomography and corneal biomechanics has been receiving awards annually since 2004, especially in the ASCRS (American Society of Cataract and Reflective Surgery) and ESCRS (European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery). Such examinations are essential for patient selection and refractive surgery planning and to increase the sensitivity and specificity of keratoconus diagnosis, staging and prognosis. In 2005, he received the highest award offered by the Brazilian Council of Ophthalmology, in a study related to the study of the thickness of the cornea with his student Dr. Allan Luz. This research work was the basis for the development of the Ambrósio's Relational Thickness index, that is included in the Pentacam software. At the end of this year, he was approved and classified as a substitute Assistant Professor in the Department of Specialized Surgery (Ophthalmology) at the Universidade Federal Fluminense, where he stayed for only two years. Since 2007, he is part of the faculty of the post-graduation courses in Ophthalmology at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ), as a professor of cornea and refractive surgery. Since 2011, he is also an associate professor of post-graduation in Ophthalmology at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). The Prof. Renato Ambrósio Jr. has several scientific papers published as articles in magazines and specialty journals, chapters of books, and has edited two books. He is an active member of the most important ophthalmological organizations in Brazil and abroad, having several of his works and contributions recognized. He was elected the 11th most influential Ophthalmologist in the world in 2014 by the english magazine “The Ophthalmologist”. With more than 350 scientific publications and more than 50 awards in Brazil and worldwide, it is listed among the top 92.5% of Researchgate.

Nominations for Scientific Societies
In 2006, Prof. Renato Ambrósio was elected President of the Brazilian Society of Ophthalmology Administration (Sociedade Brasileira de Administração em Oftalmologia - SBAO), a position that he held until July 2010. He was the last president of the Brazilian Society of Refractive Surgery between 2012–14, when it joined the Brazilian Society of Cataract and Intraocular Implants for the formation of the Brazilian Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (Associação Brasileira de Catarata e Cirurgia Refrativa - ABCCR). He was vice-president of the Brazilian Council of Ophthalmology (Concelho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia - CBO) between 2013-15.
