title: [Academician S. N. Fyodorov's contribution to Russian and world ophthalmology].
abstract: The article is dedicated to academician S. N. Fyodorov, an outstanding surgeon, scientist, and a public figure. The paper covers the milestones of S. N. Fyodorov's creative way. His motto was uncompromisingness, diligence, and innovation. The main result of academician Fyodorov's many-year work, his brainchild, was Eye Microsurgery Complex, an inter-branch scientific and technical establishment, which became the material base for his most daring projects. S. N. Fyodorov made a real revolution in ophthalmology by changing it from a modest surgeless science into a bright and stormily progressing field of medicine. Thanks to his achievement, Russia is still one of the world's leaders in ophthalmology. Today, Eye Microsurgery is the flag of Russian ophthalmology. It provides more than 50% of all high-technology ophthalmologic aid in the country.
