Anton Fedorov is a physician and founder of Restore Vision Clinic in Berlin, Germany and a pioneer of therapeutic electrical stimulation therapy in Europe. His work combines neurology, neuro‑ophthalmology and vision rehabilitation for patients with optic nerve damage, retinal dystrophies and complex vision loss.
"I love my work which I have been doing since 1991 and I feel honored that patients from all over the world entrust recovery of their eyesight to our clinic. I work persistently and vigorously to earn this trust."

Dr. Anton Fedorov graduated with distinction from Saint-Petersburg Medical University in 1993. From 1993 to 2004, he worked as a neurologist and researcher at the Human Brain Institute in Saint Petersburg, where he applied non-invasive electrical stimulation methods in patients with vision disorders. The clinic's public profile states that, with his direct participation, more than 5,000 patients were treated during that period.
Dr. Fedorov's work focuses on patients with residual visual function affected by optic nerve damage, retinal dystrophies, and selected brain-related visual disorders. The page is intentionally framed around functional rehabilitation, measurable outcomes, structured qualification, and realistic counseling rather than cure-based language.
The treatment approach is described as non-invasive and supportive. It is not presented as regeneration of damaged optic nerves or as a guaranteed cure for blindness.

The following milestones summarize the development of vision restoration therapy and clinical work led by Dr. Anton Fedorov. The timeline highlights key phases in research, clinical implementation and the establishment of the Berlin clinic.
After graduating from Saint‑Petersburg Medical University, Dr. Fedorov began clinical and research work focused on neurological and ophthalmological disorders affecting visual pathways.
Work as neurologist and researcher at the Human Brain Institute where electrical stimulation approaches were investigated for patients with vision disorders. Thousands of patients were treated during this period.
Several clinical trials in German university clinics investigated electrical stimulation therapy for vision loss related to optic nerve damage and confirmed safety and functional benefits in selected patients.
The clinic was established as a specialized center combining diagnostics, therapy and rehabilitation for patients with complex visual impairment.
Built from the attached clinical services document, this section presents the clinic as a structured diagnostic and rehabilitation practice rather than a single-treatment provider.
Fedorov Restore Vision Clinic in Berlin is a specialized practice focused on functional vision assessment, non-invasive rehabilitation planning, and long-term care pathways for patients with optic nerve damage, retinal dystrophies, glaucoma-related visual loss, and selected brain-related visual disorders. Its clinical model combines detailed diagnostics, individualized therapy planning, visual training support, and structured follow-up.
The clinic uses visual acuity testing, perimetry, contrast sensitivity, color vision and glare protocols to connect measurable change with daily visual function.
Full-field ERG, pattern ERG, multifocal ERG, flash or pattern VEP, and EEG when medically necessary help assess retinal integrity and visual pathway conductivity.
OCT-based imaging, OCT angiography, anterior-segment imaging and optic nerve head analysis support disease classification, monitoring and treatment planning.
The attached clinic file describes dedicated protocols for peripheral vision loss, blurred or hazy vision, low-vision assessment, and remote visual training support.
Safety procedures cover elevated intraocular pressure, angle-closure glaucoma verification, and structured review before therapy is offered.
The patient lifecycle includes qualification, in-clinic treatment, visual training, follow-up assessment, and long-term monitoring for progressive conditions.
The clinic's evidence framework emphasizes transparent communication of outcomes and limitations. Public-facing physician materials should avoid cure language and instead present the work as functional rehabilitation based on residual visual capacity, diagnostic qualification, and measured outcomes.
Regulatory context: The clinic operates in Germany. Public clinic materials describe the treatment devices as CE-marked and explain that routine practice in Europe is not dependent on FDA approval. The official imprint provides licensing and supervisory authority details for independent verification.
