Abstract:

The biography and multifaceted professional activities of Sergey Nikolaevich Lozhechnikov (1838 — March 6, 1911), one of the most respected figures of the Moscow ophthalmological school and Chief Physician of the Moscow Eye Hospital, remain insufficiently explored. This report attempts to generalize scattered and extremely scarce journalistic accounts along with some discovered archival documents that shed light on the key stages of S.N. Lozhechnikov’s life, as well as his contributions to the development of ophthalmology and advancement of public healthcare in Russia. The article highlights the close and historically significant connection of the Moscow Eye Hospital with the Moscow University and its medical faculty and clinical infrastructure.
