Todestag (1828-1870): Das Gewissen der Augenheilkunde in Deutschland
Par Jens Martin Rohrbach. 2020
Das Leben Albrecht von Graefes war von großen Höhen und Tiefen geprägt, so dass es noch heute – 150 Jahre…
nach seinem Ableben – berührt. Neben dem frühen Tod an Tuberkulose mit 42 Jahren, dem Verlust zweier Kinder im ersten Lebensjahr und dem frühen Verlust von Mutter und insbesondere Vater stehen für ihre Zeit großartige klinische und wissenschaftliche Erfolge. Albrecht von Graefe kann daher zu Recht als Begründer der modernen Ophthalmologie und als „augenärztlicher Lehrer des Erdkreises“ angesehen werden. Er war ein großer Weltbürger, Europäer, Deutscher und Berliner. Diese Biographie ist insofern auch ein kleines Stückchen deutscher - genauer preußischer - und Berliner Zeitgeschichte. Mit der „Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft“ (DOG) und dem „Graefe-Archiv“ sind immer noch zwei seiner Gründungen lebendig. Genauso beeindruckend wie seine klinischen und wissenschaftlichen Leistungen war aber seine Persönlichkeit. Vor allem diese wird im vorliegenden Buch ausführlich mit Zitaten von ihm selbst, aber auch von Kollegen und Freunden beleuchtet. Das Bild, welches dadurch entsteht, ist das eines großartigen, aber eben auch zerbrechlichen Menschen, der mit seinen Wertvorstellungen zeitloses Vorbild, ja immer noch das Gewissen der Augenheilkunde in Deutschland ist.Clinical Vision Science: A Concise Guide to Numbers, Laws, and Formulas

Par Georgina Kleege. 2018
In the quarter century following the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, art museums, along with other public institutions,…
were tasked with making their facilities and collections more accessible to people with disabilities. Although blind and other disabled people have become marginally more visible in recent years, the vast majority of blind Americans remain undereducated and unemployed. In More Than Meets the Eye, Georgina Kleege shows how the scrutiny of one cultural issue-access to arts institutions-in relation to one subset of the disabled population- blind people-can lead us to larger and more general implications. Kleege begins by examining representations of blindness, arguing that traditional theories of blindness often fail to take into account the presence of other senses, or the ability of blind people to draw analogies from non-visual experience to develop concepts about visual phenomena. Following this, the book shifts its focus from the tactile to the verbal, describing Denis Diderot's remarkable range of techniques to describe art works for readers who were not able to view them. Diderot's writing not only provided a model for describing art, Kleege says, but proof that the experience of art is inextricably tied to language and thus not entirely dependent on sight. By intertwining her personal experience with scientific study and historical literary analysis, Kleege challenges traditional conceptions of blindness and overturns the assumption that the ideal art viewer must have perfect vision. More Than Meets the Eye seeks to establish a dialogue between blind people and the philosophers, scientists, and educators that study blindness, in order to create new aesthetic possibilities and a more genuinely inclusive society.The Scrub's Bible: How to Assist at Cataract and Corneal Surgery with a Primer on the Anatomy of the Human Eye and Self Assessment

Par Thomas Kuriakose. 2020
This book elucidates the principles of sound clinical examination in ophthalmology. Based on the author’s extensive teaching experience, it makes…
the case for arriving at a diagnosis through detailed clinical examinations, including history taking, knowledge of clinical epidemiology, and using only the most relevant clinical tests. Starting with basic chapters on relevant statistics and clinical epidemiology, the book covers history-taking, visual function assessment, slit lamp examination, and examinations of each important field (e.g. the lids, orbit, cornea, iris and pupil, glaucoma patients, sclera, lens, posterior segment, pediatric patient and neuro-ophthalmology) in separate chapters. Full of practical tips on examining patients at the clinic, the book also describes the rationale behind each clinical test and its interpretation. It is also hoped that teachers who come across this book will evaluate students on the basis of these relevant clinical examinations rather than quizzing them on esoteric clinical tests that are not routinely used and are of little clinical value. This book is intended to help all ophthalmologists, beginners and veterans alike, improve their clinical examination thinking and skills.
