This document provides brief biographies of several famous ophthalmologists and describes medical eponyms named after them. Some of the ophthalmologists profiled include Edmund Landolt, for whom the Landolt C chart is named; Wilhelm Uhthoff and his phenomenon; and Rudolf Berlin, for whom Berlin's edema is named. Several medical conditions are also summarized, such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, and Wegener granulomatosis. The document aims to honor the great ophthalmologists of the past who contributed to the field.
