Operation Everbush

Eversbusch operation (o. Eversbusch) is a surgical procedure developed by German ophthalmologist Otto Eversbusch in 1886 to treat cataracts. The operation was named after him and became one of the most common eye surgeries in the world.

Cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that leads to blurred vision. Eversbush proposed surgical removal of cataracts by removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. This surgery was very successful and allowed many people to see clearly again.

Eversbush was one of the first doctors to use anesthesia to perform surgery, which greatly improved patient comfort during surgery. He also developed several other surgical procedures, including eye surgery to correct strabismus.

Today, Eversbush surgery is a standard method of treating cataracts and is performed in many countries around the world. It has high efficacy and safety, as well as a low rate of complications.

The first cataract operation was performed by Eversbusch in July 1799. The first successful experience in removing a cataract nucleus was carried out by Everorbush with the help of his invention of a new optical instrument - a syringe. On May 1, 1908, in St. Petersburg, he demonstrated his cataract removal operation followed by corneal resection in front of Academician S.P. Kolomninsky. Eversbisch also practiced palmistry and dermatology. He proposed a method for excision of joint hygroma and treatment of joint dislocations.
