A historical outline of Greek ophthalmology from the Hellenistic period up to the establishment of the first universities.

The writers examine the course of Greek ophthalmology from the Hellenistic period to the foundation of the first universities (19th century). In particular, the study refers to Galen, Antyllus, the Byzantine doctors Oribasius, Aetius of Ameda, Paul of Aegina, Alexander of Tralles, Nonnus Theophanes, Theophilus Protospatharius, Michael Psellos, Meletius Monachus, Nemesius bishop of Emeses and John Actuarius. The practice of empirical ophthalmology during the Ottoman domination of Greece is also examined, as is the earliest available evidence of modern Greek ophthalmological knowledge, deriving from the Ionian Islands.

Ophthalmological lore in the Corpus Hippocraticum.

In this paper we examine the ophthalmological knowledge of the Hippocratic School as described in the Corpus Hippocraticum. An analysis is made of knowledge existing at the time concerning the anatomy of the eye and the physiology of vision, as well a diseases of the eye and ophthalmic surgical operations as depicted in the Corpus. In particular, the book "About Vision" from the Corpus Hippocraticum is discussed in detail. From our study of the extant texts it becomes apparent that not only was knowledge of ophthalmology considerably developed in the time of Hippocrates but it constituted a source of inspiration for ophthalmic treatments carried out by later physicians and in particular by those of the 19th century.
