Ophthalmic Sustainability

A fantastical imagining of the greening of ophthalmology which strives to reduce the amount of discarded packaging, disposables and single-use items used in surgery. Uplifting and hopeful, the illustration depicts a lush, fresh and burgeoning botanical environment flourishing around an heroic eye. The eye itself is fantastical, with a conjunctiva (the covering of the globe) made of Michelangelo's white dolomite marble. In contrast to the cracked marble, the iris is glowing as if illuminated from energy within.
