Doina Honeycomb Choroiditis

Doina honeycomb choroiditis was a unique and extremely important discovery in the field of ophthalmology. This scientist is one of the most famous and respected ophthalmologists of his time. He is also known for his discoveries in the field of vascular pathology, especially in relation to the fundus.

Doina honeycomb choroiditis ***(English ophthalmologist)* **In this article we will look at Doina honeycomb choroiditis - a researcher who made a great contribution to the development of ophthalmology.

Doina Sotovidnaya is a British ophthalmologist, born in London in 1847. His father was a diplomat who worked abroad, which gave Sotovidny the opportunity to receive an excellent education and reveal his abilities. Honeycomb began his career at King's College Hospital, where he performed anatomical research on the eye and studied the anatomy of the optic nerve. In 1900, he received a professorship in the department of ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania. Origin of the term “Honeycomb Choroid” The name “honeycomb” first appeared in 1942 in the scientific literature and was associated with the fact that Honeycomb noticed that the honeycombs located in the anterior part of the choroid are usually separated by thin folds that have a segmented structure. The term continued to be used and became widely known when Honeycomb and colleagues described the honeycomb-like structure of the extraocular processes of the retina (analogous to the choriocapillaris in the choroid). The term was also used to describe the honeycomb cells of the retina, which were described by Morgan Mellinka at the same time. The retinal honeycomb began to be called "retinal cell honeycomb" because it was densely packed, but the individual cells within the honeycomb are genetically similar due to their shared anatomical and chemical environment. This term exists and is currently used to refer to the microscopic structure of the extracellular stroma of the retina and other tissues (eg, ocular endothelial cells and iris). It is also a symbolic name for defining the tissue structure that is often observed in choroidal retinal dystrophies.
