About Photinos Panas

  • Photinos Panas (30 January 1832 – 5 January 1903) was an ophthalmologist born on the Greek island of Cefalonia. In 1860 he obtained his medical degree at Paris, where he would later spend his entire medical career.
  • He was the first professor of ophthalmology at the University of Paris, and in 1879 established the ophthalmology clinic at the HĂ´tel-Dieu de Paris.
  • In 1881 with Edmund Landolt (1846-1926) and Antonin Poncet (1849-1913), he founded the Archives d'ophtalmologie. In 1894 he published TraitĂ© des maladies des yeux, which at the time was considered to be the best French textbook on eye diseases.
  • Panas is credited with introducing an operation for entropion in trichiasis, as well as an operation for attachment of the upper eyelid to the occipitofrontalis muscle for treatment of blepharoptosis.
  • Each of these techniques are sometimes referred to as "Panas' operation" in medical literature.
