Abstract

The passing of Dr. Sengamedu Srinivasa Badrinath (Figure 1)
(on November 21, 2023, marked the profound loss of an extraordinary educator, a true visionary, and a pioneer ophthalmologist who founded Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai. He is survived by his wife, Dr Vasanthi Iyengar, and their two sons, Ananth and Seshu Badrinath. His departure from this world leaves a void that can never be filled, but his remarkable contributions and the lives he touched will remain etched in our hearts and minds forever. Dr. Badrinath led an extraordinary life dedicated to service, visionary leadership, and the advancement of ophthalmology and training young ophthalmologists by establishing Sankara Nethralaya at Chennai (Figure 2). As a visionary ophthalmologist, he trained thousands of fellows in retinal surgery.1,2 As an educator, he selflessly imparted knowledge to numerous ophthalmologists (visited from India and various other countries) who would become renowned ophthalmologists/retinal specialists themselves. As a humanitarian, he treated all patients with
dignity and compassion, regardless of social status or means.
