Tadeusz Krwawicz (January 15, 1910 – August 17, 1988) was a Polish ophthalmologist. He pioneered the use of cryosurgery in ophthalmology.[1][2] He was the first to describe a method of cataract extraction by cryoadhesion in 1961,[3][4][5] and to develop a probe by means of which cataracts can be grasped and extracted.[6]
The Tadeusz Krwawicz Gold Medal is awarded by the International Council of Ophthalmology Board every four years.[7]
