Albrecht Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Von Grafe was born on May 22, 1828, Berlin, Prussia (Germany). He was a German eye surgeon, considered the founder of modern ophthalmology.

Albrecht was the first to exploit the German physiologist Hermann Helmholtz’s ophthalmoscope (a perforated mirror used to inspect the interior of the eye). Von Graefe received his medical degree in Berlin on August 21, 1847. In 1857, von Graefe reached the peak of his career by reporting the cure of glaucoma with iridectomy at the first International Congress of Ophthalmology. He referred to glaucoma in three forms: the acute inflammatory, the chronicand amaurosis with advanced cupping of the disc. Von Graefe's work on glaucoma set a standard in the world of ophthalmology.
