Abstract:

This article, composed using literary sources and archival materials, is dedicated to the 155th anniversary of Alexander Grigoryevich Lyutkevich — a prominent Russian ophthalmologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (12.09.1867—18.04.1928) and one of the founders of the Voronezh Medical Institute. The paper traces the main stages of his biography, notes his work in rapid-reaction emergency care units, and pays attention to his teaching activities. The importance of Lyutkevich’s doctoral dissertation on the treatment of high myopia is emphasized. The article also highlights his important role as editor of the classic textbook “Course of eye diseases” by A.A. Kryukov. In Lyutkevich’s public activities, his contribution to the establishment of the Society of Ophthalmologists in Moscow is particularly noteworthy. Lyutkevich’s high organizational skills are highlighted, which were clearly manifested in the Yuriev University and in the creation of the medical faculty of the Voronezh University.
