RESUMO
The article is dedicated to the works of E.V. Adamyuk (1839-1906) - founder of the Kazan School of Ophthalmology, a professor of the Imperial Kazan University; he published in the specialized journal 'The Russian Annals of Ophthalmology' ('Vestnik oftal'mologii') in the late XIX - early XX centuries. In respect of his great scientific and clinical experience, as well as his high prestige among both Russian and foreign colleagues, he was included in the editorial board of the journal from its very first issue, which was published in 1884. His wide range of knowledge in various fields of medical science allowed professor E.V. Adamyuk over 20 years (1886-1906) of consistent participation in the journal activity by publishing his clinical observations and scientific discussions about etiology, pathogenesis and treatment methods of a number of eye diseases (trachoma, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal and optic nerve pathologies, etc.), many of which are still instructive and relevant to this day. Professor E.V. Adamyuk's scientific heritage preserved in his publications in 'The Russian Annals of Ophthalmology' is without doubts an invaluable contribution to the formation and development of ophthalmological science.
