Who was the first to conceive the neutralization of the cornea by substituting a new refracting surface?
Leonardo da vinci
Who said “if one applies directly against the eye, a tube filled of water… there will no longer be any refraction at the entry of the eye”
Rene Descartes
Who outlined the principles of the telescope and other techniques for enlarging retinal image size?
Rene Descartes
Who is the “Father of Physiological Optics”?
Thomas Young
Who was first to establish the fact that accommodation was related to changes in the cystalline lens?
Thomas Young
Who was first to describe and measure astigmatism?
Thomas Young
Who was first to provide a scientific explanation for color vision?
Thomas Young
What is a hydradiascope?
25 mm tube closed at one end by a biconvex lens filled with cold water and placed on the orbital rim. Designed to study mechanisms of accommodation
Who designed the hydradiascope?
Thomas Young
Who was first to wake a photograph onto glass and gave us the term “photography” “negative and postive” “snapshot”?
Sir John Herschel
Who described how a CL could be designed with a posterior surface and anterior surface?
Sir John Herschel
Posterior surface CL
an exact facsimile of the cornea
Anterior surface CL
designed to correct the refractive error
Who was a master glass blower and maker of artificial eyes?
Frederick A. Muller
Who fabricated a protective glass shell for a patient with severe exposure following removal of a malignant lid tumor?
Frederick A. Muller
What was Frederick A. Muller’s contact lens like?
The shell had a clear central portion with no optical power. The scleral flange was colored to match the sclera with the inclusion of small blood vessels
When was Muller’s contact lens made?
1887
How often was a new lens made due to corrosion of the glass by the tear film by Muller?
12-18 mo
When did 3 individuals independently develop the first contact lenses?
1888
Who were the 3 individuals that developed the first CL?
Adolph Eugen Fick (Zurich Switzerland), August Muller (Kiel Germany), and Eugene Kalt (Paris France)
Who first published work on CL?
Adolph Eugene Fick 1888
What did Adolph Eugene Fick report?
Reported how he had fitted CL to irregularly shaped corneas, experimented from mold taken from cadaver eyes
Who did Fick develop the first CL with refractive powers with?
Carl Zeiss
Who was first to describe the etiology of CL induced corneal edema?
August Muller
What was August Mullers refractive correction? Who ground glass scleral lenses to correct it?
-14.00 D, Otto Himmler
Who said “with the device, pressure is exerted only on the tissue surrounding the border of the cornea…. it becomes clear then, that the cornea would be rapidly affected by metabolic disorders”?
August Muller
Who developed the first CL for keratoconus?
Eugene Kalt (Kalt= keratoconus)
What mm corneal lens designs did Kalt use?
11
