Keppe Goniolinza

Keppe Goniolins is a German ophthalmologist who made significant contributions to the development of ophthalmology. He was born in 1884 in Korra, Germany. In 1902 he entered the university in Munich, where he studied medicine.

In 1911, Goniolinz received his doctorate in medicine and began his career as an ophthalmologist. He worked in various medical institutions in Germany, as well as in Switzerland and Italy.

One of the most significant achievements of Goniolinets was the invention of the goniolens - a device for vision correction. The goniolens made it possible to correct vision without surgery. This device was widespread in Europe and the USA in the 20s of the last century.

In addition, Goniolints studied various eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma and retinal detachment. He also worked on developing new treatments for these diseases.

Keppe Goniolinz died in 1969 at the age of 85. He left behind a legacy in the field of ophthalmology that continues to be used today.

Keppe Adolfo Goniolinzo - Swedish ophthalmologist, one of the most prominent ophthalmologists of his time. He was the editor of the magazine “K.-N. Farr's Archiv", which is now one of the leading scientific journals dedicated to ophthalmology.

Koeppe was born in 1864 in Royal Sweden in Växkomland, where he was the son of the Bavarian civil doctor Carlos Johan Moritz Goniolini. When he was fifteen years old, his father passed away, and his upbringing continued to be financially very difficult. In addition, during this period the Franco-Prussian War began, which led to economic difficulties and increased social tension. During this period, Koeppe decided to enroll in the Faculty of Medicine at Uppsala University, and also enroll in university courses in pharmacology and medicine in Munich. Having settled in, Keppe began working at the department of surgical treatment of eye diseases and general eye care. There his supervisor was Professor Daniel Suhr. This place of work had a deep impact on Koeppe, as she learned many new ideas from her colleagues, students and patients, who were also very interesting people. For several years, Koeppe's focus has been on surgical treatments for glaucoma and low-field vision. After fruitful work in Germany, Koeppe returned to Sweden. Here, from 1900 to 1938, she was a professor of ophthalmology at the Karolinska Institutet Clinic and taught operative ophthalmology and the diagnosis of eye diseases. Under her leadership, several important studies were carried out, including early diagnosis of glaucoma, the first publication demonstrating a correlation between the number of treatment outcomes and surgical time, increased survival of the retina in cases of retinal detachment, and the development of methods for measuring the length of the eyeball, allowing examination of the child before birth. Koeppe continued to be interested in new ophthalmic technologies and actively advocated for their implementation in clinical practice.
