Sviatoslav Fyodorov
Sviatoslav Fyodorov (1927-2000), Soviet eye surgeon and politician, photographed in the conveyer-belt operating theatre he developed. Professor Fyodorov pioneered a reliable technique, known as radial keratotomy, for treating short- sightedness (myopia). Small incisions made in the cornea cause it to contract as it heals, bringing vision into focus. Fyodorov was also the first person to complete an artificial lens implantation in the Soviet Union. Patients were rotated from surgeon to surgeon in his conveyer-belt operating theatre, being treated in just over 15 minutes. Photographed in the Eye Microsurgery Institute, Moscow, in the then Soviet Union

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind and pioneering work of Sviatoslav Fyodorov, a renowned Soviet eye surgeon and politician. In this image, Professor Fyodorov stands proudly in the conveyer-belt operating theatre that he developed at the Eye Microsurgery Institute in Moscow. Fyodorov's groundbreaking technique, known as radial keratotomy, revolutionized the treatment of short-sightedness (myopia). By making small incisions in the cornea, he was able to stimulate its contraction during healing, ultimately bringing vision into sharp focus. Additionally, Fyodorov achieved another remarkable feat by successfully completing the first artificial lens implantation in the Soviet Union. In his conveyer-belt operating theatre, patients were efficiently rotated from one surgeon to another, allowing for swift treatments completed within just over 15 minutes. This innovative approach not only showcased Fyodorov's exceptional surgical skills but also highlighted his commitment to providing accessible and effective eye care. The photograph transports us back to a time when scientific advancements were flourishing amidst a backdrop of Soviet influence. It symbolizes Fyodorov's dedication as both a doctor and politician who strived to improve healthcare for all. Through his contributions to ophthalmology and microsurgery, Sviatoslav Fyodorov left an indelible mark on medical history while empowering countless individuals with restored vision and hope.
