Carl Ferdinand von Arlt

Carl Ferdinand von Arlt ( born April 18, 1812 in Oberg caterpillars, Bohemia, † March 7, 1887 in Vienna ) was an Austrian surgeon and ophthalmologist.

After studying medicine, he became in 1840 assistant to the professor of ophthalmology Johann Fischer in Prague. In 1842 he opened a private practice in internal medicine, but also for surgery. In 1849 he became professor of ophthalmology at the University of Prague. From 1856 to 1883 he was professor at the University of Vienna and head of the Department of Ophthalmology. He was one of the founders of this subject as an independent science through application of pathology, physiology and histology on ophthalmology. His textbook " The diseases of the eye for Practical Doctors " (3 volumes, 1851-1856 ) was spread worldwide.

The social scientist Ilse Arlt is his granddaughter.

In 1887 in Vienna Ottakring ( 16th district ) was named the Arltgasse after him. According to him, the former Ferdinand von Arlt Academy was named.
