Geoffrey Sutherland was born 1916 at Wedderburn Victoria and trained at RVEEH and Moorfields Hospital He developed a keen interest in mechanical,electrical and optical devices while serving in the RAAF 1943. Collaborating with Professor Gerard Crock and Tom Cotter the photographer at RVEEH, he modified many existing optical instruments and invented a series of innovative and advanced instruments that were ergonomic and often employed composite metallurgy.

In 1970 Vitrectomy was being developed at RVEEH . Sutherlands’ fine gauge rotating scissors and forceps were a valuable addition allowing intraocular manipulation and were also applied to newer techniques in the surgery of congenital cataract His association with neurosurgery allowed modification and development of new instruments. Many patents were taken out through the University of Melbourne for the micro instruments and diamond knives which were manufactured by Greishaber in Switzerland and Micra in England Much of his work was done in a beautifully equipped workshop at home. Tragically he died of complications following an endoscopy in 1980

The Sutherland collection includes many of his diagnostic and surgical instruments . He took a fresh look at existing instruments coincident with the introduction of the operating microscope. He refined and developed radical models that were an invaluable adjunct to the development of vitrectomy

Sutherlands instruments embraced ergonomics and solved the difficulties in positioning for intraocular manipulation by incorporating irrigation and rotation in the design.
