(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Julius Hirschberg was a German ophthalmologist and medical historian. He was of Jewish ancestry. In 1875, Hirschberg coined the term "campimetry" for the measurement of the visual field on a flat surface and in 1879 he became the first to use an electromagnet to remove metallic foreign bodies from the eye. In 1886, he developed the Hirschberg test for measuring strabismus. His series Geschichte der Augenheilkunde , nine volumes written from 1899 to 1917, is considered by some to be one of his greatest achievements.
