German Scientist Arrives

A new importance was attached to the work of the Department of Research in Physiological Optics at the Dartmouth Medical School with the arrival early in November of Dr. Alfred A. Bielschowsky, eminent German ophthalmologist, who will do special research work in Hanover during the next six months. Dr. Bielschowsky, until recently professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Breslau, is an authority on motor anomolies of the eyes and has taught at the Universities of Leipzig and Marburg as well as at Breslau.

The Department of Research in Physiological Optics at the Dartmouth Medical School has attracted world-wide attention for its work during the past ten years, particularly for its announcement last April of a hitherto unknown eye defect, named aniseikonia. The Department has perfected the Ophthalmoeikonometer, an instrument for determining and measuring aniseikonia, and has cooperated with the American Optical Company in developing iseikonic lenses for the correction of this eye defect. In connection with its research work, the Department conducts the eye section of the Hitchcock Clinic at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.
