Today is the International Day of Ophthalmology

8 August 2025, Friday

This holiday is celebrated twice a year: on August 8 and November 11. August 8 is the International Day of Ophthalmology, which is dedicated to the birthday of the outstanding ophthalmologist Svyatoslav Fedorov. And November 11 is Ophthalmologist's Day.

Vision is a window into the world for a person. And ophthalmologists are real jewelers in medicine. This is a celebration for both doctors and patients, to whom they restore their eyesight. Ophthalmologists help people to live their lives to the fullest, to see the world in all its beauty and diversity.
