Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review, Vol. 56: Or Quarterly Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery; July October, 1875 The invention of the ophthalmoscope by Helmholtz in 1851 has been of greater importance than was expected at the time. Not only did its introduction give an enormous stimulus to the study of ophthalmic medicine, but its use has since furnished many surprising revelations, and its powers have proved susceptible of immense development. By it a disease of the retina can be diagnosed with the same certainty as one of the cornea, the effects of intra-cranial as well as of intra-ocular pressure can be directly observed, and the refractive condition of the eye can be determined with accuracy, more in many cases than by the use of glasses. The history of ophthalmic medicine naturally divides at the period of this invention. Progress and change had been comparatively slight since the time of Beer, except in so far as the views current in general pathology had been modified, and such modification had produced some alteration in treatment. The second period was inaugurated by the rise of the Berlin school, of which von Graefe was the head, and to whom it owes almost the whole of its fame. The first number of the ´Archiv für Ophthalmologie´ appeared in 1854, and commenced with a paper by him, unsurpassed in ophthalmic literature.
