Julius Hirschberg (1843-1925)

Julius Hirschberg (1843 – 1925) was a German ophthalmologist and medical historian.

In 1875, Hirschberg coined the term "capimetry" for the measurement of the visual field on a flat surface^[1] and in 1879 he became the first to use an electromagnet to remove metallic foreign bodies from the eye.^[2] In 1886, he developed the Hirschberg test for measuring strabismus.^[2] His series Geschichte der Augenheikunde (History of Ophthalmology) written from 1899 to 1917 is considered by some to be one of his greatest achievements.^[3]
