Figure 1. View LargeDownload Composite color fundus photograph of the left eye of a 13-year-old healthy white girl who presented with vitreous hemorrhage. The photograph shows the characteristic appearance of a cavernous hemangioma of the retina with thin-walled, saccular aneurysms partly covered by a fine glial membrane. Figure 2. View LargeDownload Composite fluorescein angiogram demonstrating grapelike clusters of aneurysms, some with sedimented blood in the lower half and clear serum in the upper half (arrow), indicating low perfusion. There was a corresponding ipsilateral cavernous malformation in the corpus callosum.

Russian-born Vladimir Petrovich Filatov (1875-1956) received his medical degree at the University of Moscow in 1897. He settled in Odessa in 1903 and in 1911 became professor of ophthalmology and the director of the Eye Clinic of Novorossiysk University (presently Odessa State Medical University). In 1936, he founded the Ukrainian Institute of Experimental Ophthalmology and was appointed its director. This institute is now known as The Filatov Institute for Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy. Filatov was a gifted and courageous surgeon, perfecting the surgical techniques of keratoplasty, the tube flap method used in plastic surgery, and developing techniques for corneal grafts using cadaver eyes. He was also a pioneer in eyebanking corneal tissue. While many ophthalmologists have been commemorated on medals, Filatov is the first to be honored for his contributions to ophthalmology on a commemorative coin, a circulating 2 gryvnias coin issued by the Ukraine in 2005. It is 30 mm in diameter and struck in copper-nickel by the National Bank of Ukraine. The obverse depicts Filatov's clothed facing bust on the right and to the left, in 7 parallel lines in Cyrillic: BO/LODI/MIR/FILA/TOV/1875/1956. The reverse depicts 3 concentric circles superimposed on which is a schematic eye; above in the curve of the second circle in Cyrillic: UKRAINE, above which is a coat of arms; in the left field in Cyrillic: 2/GRIVNI; in the right field within the eye upside down in Cyrillic: 2/GRIVNI; and below in the third circle: 2005.

Roy W. Beck, MD, PhD, was awarded The Jewish Guild for the Blind's 2009 Alfred W. Bressler prize in Vision Science. Dr Beck is executive director of the Jaeb Center for Health Research and is an expert in the design and management of clinical trials in ophthalmology, which have resulted in landmark investigations related to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the cornea, retina, and nervous system in both adults and children. The Bressler prize is awarded annually to a midcareer vision care professional whose leadership, research, and service have resulted in important advancements in the treatment of eye disease or rehabilitation of persons with vision loss, and whose life's work portends future excellence.
