This document summarizes information about several famous ophthalmologists and the medical terms or procedures named after them, including: - Harold Scheie for whom Scheie syndrome and Scheie classification are named. - Gustav Schwalbe for whom Schwalbe's line, ring, and spaces are named. - Robert Shaffer for whom Shaffer's angle grading and sign are named. - Adolph Posner for whom Posner gonioprism, Posner-Schlossman syndrome, and Posner triad are named. - It provides brief biographies and contributions to ophthalmology for each person.

3. Scheie

4. Harold Glendon Scheie
U.S. ophthalmologist, 1909-1990.

5. Mucopolysaccharidoses I
Scheie syndrome

6. The Scheie classification refers to the angle structures
visible and allocates a Roman numeral accordingly. In
contrast to common clinical use, in the original system a
higher numeral (e.g. IV) actually signifies a narrower
angle.

7. In pigment dispersion, Pigment
granules may be deposited on the
anterior surface of the lens
(Scheie’s stripe)

8. Scheie clssification of
hypertensive retinopathy

9. Scheie method of cataract
extraction

10. Schwalbe

11. Gustav Albert Schwalbe
(1 August 1844 – 23 April 1916) was a German anatomist and
anthropologist from Quedlinburg.

12. Schwalbe’s Line
Angle structure

13. Schwalbe's ring
circular ridge consisting of collagenous fibers
surrounding the outer margin of Descemet's membrane

14. Radial contraction folds of Schwalbe
On back surface of the iris, series of very fine radial folds in the pupillary
portion of the iris extending from the pupillary margin to the collarette

15. Schwalbe's nucleus
vestibular nucleus

16. Schwalbe's spaces
The subarachnoid or subdural spaces between the internal and external sheaths of
the optic nerve, also called the intervaginal spaces of optic nerve (spatia
intervaginalia nervi optici)

17. Shaffer

18. Robert Nesbit Shaffer
Died July 13, 2007 at age 95. He was born
January 18, 1912 in Cochranton, Pennsylvania

19. Shaffer’s angle grading

20. Shaffer’s sign (tobacco dust)
(Pigment granules in the anterior vitreous on slit lamp )

21. Posner

22. Adolph Posner
Posner, Adolph was born on March 19, 1906 in Poland. Came to United
States, 1920 . Died March 12, 2002

23. Posner Gonioprism

24. Posner–Schlossman syndrome (PSS)
is a rare condition characterized by recurrent attacks of unilateral
acute raised IOP associated with mild anterior uveitis

25. Posner Triad
Indications of previous attacks of raised IOP :
iris atrophy with a spiral-like configuration
glaukomflecken (white foci of necrosis in the superficial lens)
fine pigment granules on the corneal endothelium

26. Brown

27. Harold Whaley Brown
American ophthalmologist, born June 22, 1898. New York.
Died May 28, 1978

28. Brown
syndrome

29. Brown’s classification of Duane syndrome

30. Kestenbaum

31. Alfred Kestenbaum
(1890-1961).

32. Anderson-Kestenbaum procedure
In the treatment of nystagmus

33. Kestenbaum pupil number

34. Kestenbaum sign
Reduction in the number of small blood vessels on the disc surface
(Kestenbaum sign).
Kestenbaum‫׳‬s capillary number test - A forgotten sign?

35. Arden

36. Geoffrey Bernard Arden
Geoffrey Bernard Arden, who was born in Hackney on 6th April 1930,
died on 19th March 2018

37. Arden ratio
EOG, the result is calculated by dividing the maximal height of the potential in the light (‘light peak’) by the
minimal height of the potential in the dark (‘dark trough’). This is expressed as a ratio (Arden ratio) or as a
percentage. The normal value is greater than 1.85 or 185%.

38. Arden plates

39. Hughes

40. Wendel Hughes
Wendel Hughes, a pioneer in oculoplastic surgery, born on 26th February,
1900 , died on Februray 10 , 1994

41. Hughes classification of chemical injury

42. Hughes tarsoconjunctival flap

43. Bowman

44. Sir William Bowman
(20 July 1816 – 29 March 1892) was an English surgeon, histologist and
anatomist. He is best known for his research using microscopes to study
various human organs, though during his lifetime he pursued a
successful career as an ophthalmologist.

45. Bowman's membrane

46. Bowman's glands — in the olfactory mucosa

47. Bruch

48. Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Bruch
(May 1, 1819 – January 4, 1884) was a German anatomist born in Mainz.

49. Bruch's membrane

50. Bruch's glands
Lymph nodes located in the palpebral conjunctiva. Sometimes referred
to as trachoma glands.

51. Javal

52. Louis Émile Javal
(May 5, 1839 – January 20, 1907) was a French ophthalmologist born in
Paris

53. javal schiotz keratometer

54. Javal described eye movements during reading in the late 19th
century. He reported that eyes do not move continuously along a line
of text, but make short rapid movements (saccades) intermingled
with short stops (fixations). Javal's observations were characterised
by a reliance on naked-eye observation of eye movement in the
absence of technology.

55. Javal's interest in strabismus was due to the disorder
affecting his father and sister. Javal himself had
heterochromia. At middle-age Javal developed glaucoma,
and by 1900 was totally blind after suffering repeated
attacks of acute angle-closure. Javal died of stomach
cancer and donated his left eye to histopathological
research in England where, however, it got lost without a
report being published.
