This book is dedicated to Dr. Živojnović. Relja Živojnović is one of the fathers of modern vitreoretinal surgery that put together all its puzzles: vitrectomy (invented by Robert Machemer), membrane dissection (developed by John D. Scott) and silicone oil injection (introduced by Paul A. Cibis). He worked at the Eye Hospital Rotterdam and Middelheim Hospital Antwerp.
