School Life, and Its Influence on Sight (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from School Life, and Its Influence on Sight Whe...)
Excerpt from School Life, and Its Influence on Sight When we look at near objects a change takes place in the interior of the eye, which change is associated with a certain ex ertion. The eye being an optical instrument is supplied with a lens, which grows more convex in order to produce images of very close 'objects upon the retina. This increased curvature is brought about in the following manner: The anterior surface of the lens gets to be more convex and moves forwards, whilst the posterior surface, although it also becomes more convex, does not change its position. The ciliary muscle produces this change in the curvature of the lens; according to late experiments the rationale of this action is to be explained in the following way The ciliary muscle, or the muscle of the accommodation, con tracts and pulls the second lining membrane of the internal eye, the choroid, forwards, the anterior and internal margin of the ciliary body inwards, and lengthens the fibres of the ligament which subtends the lens; by this means the space around the iris is widened and the interval between the anterior surface of the lens and the cornea is narrowed in consequence, because of the pressure exerted upon the capsule of surrounding envelop of the lens, whereby its curvature is increased as above explained.

George Reuling
Edit ProfileEducation
He received his early education in Darmstadt; then attended the University of Giessen, where he was a pupil of von Liebig. Later, he became assistant to Professor Phoebus in materia medica and pharmacology at this University. He was awarded the degree of M. D. there in 1865.
Career
His early ophthalmological training was obtained during vacations at the renowned clinic of Prof. Alexander Pagenstecher in Wiesbaden, where, since he was a cousin of the director, he enjoyed special advantages. Here he also came under the influence of Hirschfeld, subsequently professor of ophthalmology at the University of Charkow, and of Iwanoff, later of the University of Kiev.
During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, he served as military surgeon. After a period of study of ophthalmology and of otology at the University of Vienna under Arlt, von Jaeger, Mauthner, Politzer, and others, he was called to be first assistant at the Pagenstecher clinic. While serving in this capacity he was invited by a prominent layman of Baltimore to take up his residence and professional work in that city. Before leaving Europe, however, he spent some time with von Graefe in Berlin, and de Wecker and Liebreich in Paris.
He arrived in Baltimore in 1868, and established, October 1, 1869, the Maryland Eye and Ear Infirmary, equipped with fifteen beds and a dispensary department, which he conducted for a number of years.
In 1871 he was appointed professor of ophthalmology and otology at Washington University, Baltimore, and served as such until 1873. Elected professor of ophthalmology and otology at the Baltimore Medical College in 1887, he taught there until his resignation in 1908, when he was made professor emeritus.
Achievements
-
His reputation was chiefly based upon his skill as an operator, but he was also the author of a number of contributions to medical literature, the most important of which were "Extraction of Cataract within the Lenticular Capsule" and "On the Extraction of Cataract within the Capsule, Based on 200 Operations". He enjoyed a large practice and many persons prominent in American life were among his patients.
