Excerpt from Clinical Lectures by Professor A. Von Graefe, on Amblyopia and Amaurosis, and the Extraction of Cataract With reference to the series of clinical remarks on the extraction of cataract which form the conclusion of this pamphlet, and which, as a specimen of clear, precise and comprehensive clinical instruo tion, the translator believes to be without a parallel in Ophthalmic literature, it may be well to remark that their value is in no wise diminished by the late researches of von Graefe on modified linear extraction and his present frequent adoption of the method. Till vastly more extended statistics have proved the superior safety of another procedure, ?ap extraction must remain the rule in a large proportion of cases and for the majority of practitioners.

ophthalmologist scientist Surgeon oculist
Albrecht von Grafe was born on the 22nd of May 1828 at Berlin. He was the son of Karl Ferdinand von Grafe.
At an early age he manifested a preference for the study of mathematics, but this was gradually superseded by an interest in natural science, which led him ultimately to the study of medicine. After prosecuting his studies at Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Paris, London, Dublin and Edinburgh.
Devoting special attention to ophthalmology he, in 1850, began practice as an oculist in Berlin, where he founded a private institution for the treatment of the eyes, which became the model of many similar ones, in Germany and Switzerland. In 1853 he was appointed teacher of ophthalmology in Berlin university; in 1858 he became extraordinary professor, and in 1866 ordinary professor. Grafe contributed largely to the progress of the science of ophthalmology, especially by the establishment in 1855 of his Archiv fur Ophthalmologie, in which he had Ferdinand Arlt (1812 - 1887) and F. C. Donders (1889) as collaborators Perhaps his two most important discoveries were his method of treating glaucoma and his new operation for cataract. He was also regarded as an authority in diseases of the nerves and brain.
