dc.description.abstractThis article features a short biography of Professor Joseph Barth (1745-1818), a well known teacher and ophtalmologist in Europe, especially in Vienna where he was asked to occupy the chair of Anatomy and Physiology along with the newly established chair of Ophthalmology at the Imperial University of Vienna. In the year 1787, it is recorded that he performed 300 cataract extractions, which is quite a substantial figure, considering that at that time anaesthesia was not yet introduced. His greatest accomplishment was the establishment of the first University Eye Clinic of Vienna, which is also the first University Eye Clinic in Europe.en_GB
