The Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy in Odessa continues its active scientific work despite the ongoing war. This was reported by Oleg Zadorozhny, Doctor of Medical Sciences and senior researcher at the institute, in an exclusive interview with the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
“Despite all the difficulties of today, the ongoing war, and the existing direct threats and risks, the Filatov Institute continues its scientific and research activities,” Zadorozhny said.
According to him, the institute continues to conduct both fundamental and applied research aimed at developing new methods for the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, corneal and retinal diseases, pediatric ophthalmopathology, and combat eye injuries.
“The institute has not only remained at the forefront of global ophthalmological science, but is, on the contrary, in a leading position,” Zadorozhny emphasized. He added that the institute’s scientists have participated in nine global international research projects in recent years.
The institute has ten scientific departments and six specialized laboratories working in various fields of ophthalmology. Particular attention is paid to the introduction of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence and telemedicine, to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
“The mission of the Institute’s scientific activities can be summed up in the words of Vladimir Petrovich Filatov: ‘All means of science are for the treatment of the sick,’” Zadorozhny concluded.
