Massimo Lombardi was born in 1946 in Rome. He took a
degree with full marks and honours in Medicine and Surgery at the
University of Rome “La Sapienza” in 1973. 1977: He obtains the Specialization
in Ophthalmology at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” 1982: At
prof. Svyatoslav N. Fyodorov’s invitation, Director of Moscow Research
Institute of Eye Microsurgery and father of the modern Radial Keratotomy
for the surgical correction of myopia, Massimo Lombardi is the first
European ophthalmologist who attends in Moscow the courses on training
in the most recent techniques for the microsurgery of the eye. 1987:
He is the only private in the world who comes to an arrangement with
the Moscow Institute of Eye Microsurgery, through the Soviet Ministry
of Health. This agreement allows him the possibility to try new ideas
in the field of the ophthalmological research with the help of several
équipes. 1988: Certificate of fitness to perform operations of “epikeratoprothesis”
for the surgical correction of keratoconus, myopia and high hyperopia,
according to the procedure of dr. Kauffman, Director of the Louisiana
University-Ophthalmic Center. 1989: Certificate of fitness to utilize
“Excimer Laser” held by Summit Technology. 1990: He performs for the
1st time in the world the operation of “Lasik” on pig eyes. 1995:
He holds in Atlanta a specialization course in refractive surgery
to ophthalmologists from many different countries. 1997: He signs
a protocol of research and experimentation of personal projects with
The Cuban Company of “Retinosi Pigmentosa”. 1999: He creates a new
integrative methodology named “Modulated Asymmetric Microsurgery For
Keratoconus”. This technique improves the A.R.K. (with or without
“Mini”) with other techniques capable to correct both the anatomical
faults, both the refractive ones. 2000: Certificate related to the
course of “Laser Thermokeratoplasty” held by the division of experimental
ophthalmic surgery of the ophthalmic clinic of the University of Tubingen.
Massimo Lombardi is the inventor of original surgical techniques such
as: lensectomy for the refractive correction of high myopia (1984);
Asymmetrical Radial Keratotomy (A.R.K.) for the surgical correction
of Keratoconus (1985); correction with the RK of high myopia (until
-21); Excimer Laser for the correction of the residual ametropia after
radial keratotomy (1988); Excimer Laser on a epilens (epikeratoprothesis)
for the correction of the residual ametropia (1991); Excimer Laser
on a transplanted cornea (penetrating keratoplasty) for the correction
of the residual ametropia on the donor’s cornea (1991). Honours 1988:
for “Extraordinary Merits” - International Institute of Culture, Sciences
and Arts, Rome, Ministry of Education. 1989: for “Extraordinary Merits”,
Senate of the Republic. |
