For some time he worked as an assistant to the district doctor in the Serpukhov district of the Moscow province. Then, for several months, he worked under the direction of Professor A. N. Maklakov , who by that time had replaced GI Brown in the Moscow Eye Hospital . Maklakov was recommended to the private hospital of Dr. S. V. Topuria in Kutaisi . In 1892, Maklakov offered Golovin a resident's position in a new university eye clinic, which opened on the Devichye Pole in Moscow.

In 1895, S. S. Golovin defended his thesis on the topic “Ophthalmometric examinations”, was elected as assistant professor, and in the same year he was confirmed as a senior assistant at an eye clinic at Moscow University. Professor A. A. Kryukov, who was in charge of the clinic at that time - after Maklakov's death - instructed Golovin to supervise the construction of a separate clinic ambulatory building.

In 1903, Golovin was elected a professor at the Department of Ophthalmology, Novorossiysk University in Odessa. The opening of the Department of Ophthalmology was held on September 25, 1903 with an introductory lecture by Golovin “On Blindness in Russia”. With his active participation in 1905, an eye clinic was opened at the university; he also created the Odessa Ophthalmological Society. Working in the new clinic, S. S. Golovin wrote a monograph “On Blindness in Russia” (Odessa: type. “Technician”, 1910. - VIII, 124 pp.), And the staff of the clinic prepared 4 doctoral dissertations, including Theses of V.P. Filatov (1908) and K.A. Yudin (1910).

S. Golovin has published more than 100 scientific papers on the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, including works on the spread of blindness in Russia, on the surgical treatment of pulsating beam eyes, tumors of the optic nerve, and studies of the subvital processes in the isolated eye. In 1923, S. S. Golovin completed his major work, Clinical Ophthalmology, in 3 parts.

Golovin proposed a hypothesis of autocytotoxic origin of sympathetic ophthalmia; classification of clinical forms of blindness, taking into account the nature of the anatomical changes and the etiological factors that caused it; table for determining visual acuity; tables of the conversion of eye tonometer readings into eye pressure values; method for determining the angle of latent strabismus on the simple and projection perimeters; retrobulbar diaphanoscopy. He developed a series of operations; for the first time successfully implemented such a complex intervention, as the twisting of the superior orbital vein during aneurysm of the cavernous sinus. His research showed the importance of blood vessels in the regulation of intraocular pressure, and in violation of their reactions allowed to see the cause of glaucoma.

Died April 28, 1931 from a severe heart attack. He was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery (Lecture 1 row 11) ^[1] .

S. Golovin was an honorary member of the German and French ophthalmological societies.
