Hollywood optometrist Morton Greenspoon poses with Lou Ferrigno on the set of “The Incredible Hulk.”
Oscar nominee Morton Greenspoon, O.D., who has fit more actors and actresses with cosmetic contact lenses than any other person, presents the “History of Contact Lenses in the Movie Industry” at this year’s Optometric Historical Society event at the American Academy of Optometry meeting.

Dr. Greenspoon has been providing special effect contact lenses to the film industry for more than half a century. He changed Elvis Presley’s eyes from blue to brown for “Flaming Star,” and he provided Michael Jackson’s werewolf eyes in the landmark video “Thriller.” His more recent work can
be seen in the “Twilight” saga. In addition to telling about his experiences with some of Hollywood’s brightest stars, he will share the story of one of the first film moguls, who was an optometrist and a contemporary of Thomas Edison. 

The event takes place in room 229A of the Phoenix Convention Center on Friday, October 26, at 10 a.m.
