Extremely rare Ophthalmology book
About the Item
Some 250 years after Georg Bartisch, Ammon reestablished Dresden as a major center of ophthalmology, through the creation of a teaching institute, the publication of influential periodicals, and his personal publication of important monographs and journal articles. Ammon's Zeitschrift für die Ophthalmologie (founded 1830) was only the third journal in history that had been entirely devoted to ophthalmology. His prize-winning treatise, De Iritide (1835), correcty categorized iritis and gave a detailed description of sympathetic ophthalmia. His beautiful color-plate atlas, Klinische Darstellungen (1838–1841), contains landmark descriptions of congenital eye anomalies and has been described by Norman as ‘the best summary of the knowledge of diseases of the eye prior to the introduction of the ophthalmoscope.’
