Clinical Lectures by Professor A. Von Graefe, on Amblyopia and Amaurosis, and the Extraction of Cataract (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures by Professor A. Von Graefe, on Amblyopia and Amaurosis, and the Extraction of Cataract

With reference to the series of clinical remarks on the extraction of cataract which form the conclusion of this pamphlet, and which, as a specimen of clear, precise and comprehensive clinical instruo tion, the translator believes to be without a parallel in Ophthalmic literature, it may be well to remark that their value is in no wise diminished by the late researches of von Graefe on modified linear extraction and his present frequent adoption of the method. Till vastly more extended statistics have proved the superior safety of another procedure, flap extraction must remain the rule in a large proportion of cases and for the majority of practitioners.
