v w fi t b e t p L o r a t t c n O w a t N m In the present issue of Journal of Optometry, the reader will find a paper describing a new approach to derive the contributions of the Gradient Index of the crystalline lens to the optical quality of the human eye. This is just an example of the seeds left by Professor Gomez-Reino in the field of Optics and Optometry. It is difficult to summarize in a few lines the life and career of Carlos Gomez-Reino Carnota (1946--2012). Carlos was born the 1st of September 1946 in Pontevedra, Spain. He left this town when he was one year old moving to Madrid with his family.

He joined the Department of Optics of the UCM, headed in that moment by Professor Armando Duran Miranda, one of the pioneers of researching in Optics and Vision in our country. During the 1970s and with a group of young researchers, scholars and teachers among whom was his wife, Maria Victoria Perez Martin (USC Professor, died the 22nd of May 2010), Carlos began to improve and upgrade the
