Imre Operation

Imre Operation is a Hungarian ophthalmologist who made significant contributions to the development of medicine. He was one of the first to offer cataract surgery, which became known as the Imre operation.

Imre Operation was born in Budapest in 1884. In 1910, he graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Budapest and began his career as a surgeon at the Budapest Clinic. During his career, he practiced various areas of medicine, including ophthalmology.

In 1926, Imre Operation proposed a new method of cataract surgery, which was named after him. This method was based on the use of ultrasound to destroy the lens of the eye. The Imre Surgery method was much more effective than previous methods and allowed for shorter surgery times and a reduced risk of complications.

In addition, Imre Operation was also involved in developing treatments for glaucoma and other eye diseases. He published numerous scientific papers and was a member of many medical associations.

Although Imre Operation died in 1945, his method of cataract surgery remains popular and is still used today. His contributions to medicine were significant and his name remains in the memory of many people who are grateful to him for his achievements.

Imre Operation was born on May 18, 1876 in the German city of Cologne in Hungary. From childhood he began to get involved in science, being interested in medicine, physics and chemistry. He received his education at the University of Vienna, where he also began doing research. Subsequently, in 1903, he headed the department of anatomy at the University of Vienna. His scientific research focused on studying the effects of ultraviolet light on ocular tissue and discovering the eye's ability to repair damaged pigment cells. The result of these studies was the creation of photosensitive eye elements, which are widely used in medical practice. Already in adulthood, he was a professor of ophthalmology and ophthalmic surgery at the Charité University, Berlin. Also known as the author of the theory about replacing the lens of the eye. He insisted that surgery to improve vision should be performed on young patients. In his laboratory, many operations were performed on the eyes of volunteer patients. He was interested in this operation because, using a chemical substance, he was able to create a temporary optical-mechanical prosthesis inside the patient’s eye. Most other scientists noticed "incomplete recovery" after surgery. The operation led to damage to the lens, blindness and death of the patient.
