'''Danièle Aron-Rosa''' (born 1934) is a [[French people|French]]-[[Tunisian people|Tunisian]] [[ophthalmologist]] and [[physician-scientist]] most known for developing the picosecond, ophthalmic [[Nd:YAG laser]] for eye surgeries. She has been called one of the two most respected laser pioneers in ophthalmology, alongside [[Franz Fankhauser]]. She is also a painter, using the pseudonym '''Genskof''' or '''Aron Genskof''', and has works in the permanent collections of museums in France and the United States.
'''Danièle Aron-Rosa''' was born in 1934 she is a French Tunisian who began studying physics before switching to medicine. Her successful research led her to the creation of the technology needed to perform Lasik eye surgery. She invented the Nd:YAG and later in 1979 was the first person to perform the Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy. Aron-Rosa was also a painter with permanent collections in museums all over France and the United States.

==Early life and education==
Daniele Sylvia Rosa was born in Tunisia to Andre and Renee Rosa. Aron-Rosa received her medical degree from the University of Paris in 1962 followed by residency at the Hopitaux de Paris Assistee Publique and a fellowship at the AP HP University of Paris. Her combined interest in physics and ophthalmology led to her specialty in ophthalmology. She was later appointed as the head of the clinic and head of Ophthalmology at the University of Paris in 1962. At the start of her career, she studied and managed orbital tumors under the mentorship of Dr Guy Offret and together treated very challenging cases. She married Jean-Jacques Aron in 1958.
Danièle Sylvie Rosa was born in 1934<!-- on 15 October 1934 --> in [[Tunis]], Tunisia, to Renée (née Valensi) and André Rosa, who were of [[History of the Jews in Tunisia|Jewish heritage]].{{sfn|Sleeman|2002|p=27}}{{sfn|De Benedetti|2010|p=7}} She began her university studies in [[physics]], but later switched to medicine. She graduated in 1962 with a medical degree from the [[University of Paris]] and completed her residency at the [[Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris]].

From 1962, Aron-Rosa headed the eye clinic at the Assistance Publique Hôpitaux, and in 1972, she became professor and chair of the ophthalmology department at [[Paris Diderot University]]. In 1974, she became chair of ophthalmology at {{ill|Hospital Robert Debrè|fr|Hôpital Robert-Debré}} and {{ill|Hospital Foundation Adolphe de Rothschild|fr|Hôpital Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild}} (Rothschild Eye Foundation) in Paris.{{sfn|Sleeman|2002|p=27}}{{sfn|American Academy of Ophthalmology|2004}} She began her career studying tumors on the back of the eye.{{sfn|Schwartz|2008|p=31}} Working at the Rothschild Eye Foundation in Paris in the early 1970s, she began experiments in which she attempted to cut [[Vitreous body|vitreous]] strands with a laser.{{sfn|Munnerlyn|2003|p=2354}} [[Ruby laser]]s had recently come into use for eye surgery, but their extreme power and limited speed often damaged the eye.{{sfn|Karickhoff|2019|pp=44–45}} Sparked by her interest in physics, she began researching how the rate could be accelerated and the power lessened.{{sfn|Schwartz|2008|p=31}}{{sfn|Karickhoff|2019|p=45}}
Aron-Rosa relied on her physics background to create a faster laser pulse. She then focused on retinal and cataract surgery before concentrating on refractive surgery. She wanted to move toward challenging fields in ophthalmology. In the early 1970’s Aron-Rosa worked at the Rothschild Eye Foundation in Paris and started experiments where she attempted to cut vitreous strands with a laser. Ruby lasers had recently come into use for eye surgery, the use was limited due to the extreme speed and strength causing more harm than good. Her interest in physics lead to her research on how she could control the rate of power from the beam.
Inventing the technology to deliver a noninvasive laser incision required Dr. Aron-Rosa to determine a laser beam wavelength that would not disrupt the temperature or the integrity of surrounding tissue within 100 um of the target. By multiplying the Nd:YAG frequency, Dr. Aron-Rosa was able to use the laser in various wavelengths. Dr. Aron-Rosa is one of the leading international educators in ophthalmology and has produced hundreds of articles, papers, scientific books as well as several teaching films on picoseconds YAG Laser surgery. She continues her passion of teaching and moves toward new and challenging fields in ophthalmology while devoting her spare time to several new projects, including having her paintings on display in recent art exhibits.

In 1973, a discussion with physicist [[Pierre Victor Auger]] led Aron-Rosa to the realization that pulsed [[Yttrium aluminium garnet|YAG]] lasers had lower energy and higher power. Changing her research to focus on YAG lasers, she recognized the potential of ultra-rapid pulsing, after watching a scientific program on television in 1975, in which a single [[mitochondrion]] was destroyed without bursting the cell surrounding it.{{sfn|Karickhoff|2019|p=45}} Working with [[Jean-Claude Griesemann]], Aron-Rosa developed and patented the picosecond, ophthalmic [[Nd:YAG laser]] for eye surgeries in 1978.{{sfn|Schwartz|2008|p=31}}{{sfn|Karickhoff|2019|p=45}} Using this type of laser, she was able to perform posterior [[Capsulotomy|capsulotomies]].{{sfn|Munnerlyn|2003|p=2354}}
In 1973 Aron-Rosa had realized that YAG lasers yielded less energy and had more power. Her research shifted to focus on YAG lasers after she recognized it’s protentional in ophthalmology. Working alongside Jean-Claude Griesemann, Aron-Rosa created the ophthalmic Nd:YAG laser and then patented it for the use of eye surgeries in 1978. Doctors could now perform posterior capsulotomies with the invention of these lasers.
Aron-Rosa had operated on over 6,000 patients in France and eventually introduced her technology to the United States in 1982. In 1983 she was honored as a Chevalier in the Legion of Honour. She was recognized with the Innovator’s Lecture in 1987 from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive surgery and in inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2003. She retired in 2010 to focus on her painting. She is recognized as one of the most respected laser pioneers for eye surgery.

Her successful research led her to the creation of the technology needed to perform Lasik eye surgery. She invented the Nd:YAG and later in 1979 was the first person to perform the Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy.

Early life and education

Daniele Sylvia Rosa was born in Tunisia to Andre and Renee Rosa. Aron-Rosa received her medical degree from the University of Paris in 1962 followed by residency at the Hopitaux de Paris Assistee Publique and a fellowship at the AP HP University of Paris. Her combined interest in physics and ophthalmology led to her specialty in ophthalmology. She was later appointed as the head of the clinic and head of Ophthalmology at the University of Paris in 1962. At the start of her career, she studied and managed orbital tumors under the mentorship of Dr Guy Offret and together treated very challenging cases. She married Jean-Jacques Aron in 1958.

Ophthalmology and laser technology development

Aron-Rosa relied on her physics background to create a faster laser pulse. She then focused on retinal and cataract surgery before concentrating on refractive surgery. She wanted to move toward challenging fields in ophthalmology. In the early 1970’s Aron-Rosa worked at the Rothschild Eye Foundation in Paris and started experiments where she attempted to cut vitreous strands with a laser. Ruby lasers had recently come into use for eye surgery, the use was limited due to the extreme speed and strength causing more harm than good. Her interest in physics lead to her research on how she could control the rate of power from the beam. Inventing the technology to deliver a noninvasive laser incision required Dr. Aron-Rosa to determine a laser beam wavelength that would not disrupt the temperature or the integrity of surrounding tissue within 100 um of the target. By multiplying the Nd:YAG frequency, Dr. Aron-Rosa was able to use the laser in various wavelengths. Dr. Aron-Rosa is one of the leading international educators in ophthalmology and has produced hundreds of articles, papers, scientific books as well as several teaching films on picoseconds YAG Laser surgery. She continues her passion of teaching and moves toward new and challenging fields in ophthalmology while devoting her spare time to several new projects, including having her paintings on display in recent art exhibits. In 1973 Aron-Rosa had realized that YAG lasers yielded less energy and had more power. Her research shifted to focus on YAG lasers after she recognized it’s protentional in ophthalmology. Working alongside Jean-Claude Griesemann, Aron-Rosa created the ophthalmic Nd:YAG laser and then patented it for the use of eye surgeries in 1978. Doctors could now perform posterior capsulotomies with the invention of these lasers. Aron-Rosa had operated on over 6,000 patients in France and eventually introduced her technology to the United States in 1982. In 1983 she was honored as a Chevalier in the Legion of Honour. She was recognized with the Innovator’s Lecture in 1987 from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive surgery and in inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2003. She retired in 2010 to focus on her painting. She is recognized as one of the most respected laser pioneers for eye surgery.

Art

Aron-Rosa paints under the name Genskof or Aron Genskof.[1][2] Many of her works focus on a religious theme, like those shown in 2010 at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme (Museum of Jewish Art and History) in Paris. One, Giocodell'oca del popolo ebraico, a large blue canvas with a menorah in the center contains boxes of people dreaming of the creation of the State of Israel.[1] She has paintings in the permanent collections of museums in Les Sables-d'Olonne, Memphis, and Nashville.[3]
