Julius Hirschberg (1843-1925)

Julius Hirschberg (18 September 1843 – 17 February 1925) was a German ophthalmologist and medical historian. He was of Jewish ancestry.[1][2]

In 1875, Hirschberg coined the term "campimetry" for the measurement of the visual field on a flat surface (tangent screen test) [3] and in 1879 he became the first to use an electromagnet to remove metallic foreign bodies from the eye.[4] In 1886, he developed the Hirschberg test for measuring strabismus.[4] His series Geschichte der Augenheilkunde (History of Ophthalmology), nine volumes written from 1899 to 1917, is considered by some to be one of his greatest achievements.[5]
