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. Used on the cover and inside lead article of EyeNet.
