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.
在本文中，我们研究了《希波克拉底文集》中所描述的希波克拉底学派的眼科知识。我们分析了当时关于眼睛解剖学、视觉生理学以及文集中所描绘的眼部疾病和眼科手术的知识。特别是，对《希波克拉底文集》中的《论视觉》一书进行了详细讨论。从我们对现存文本的研究中可以明显看出，在希波克拉底时代，眼科知识不仅有了相当大的发展，而且它还为后世医生，尤其是19世纪的医生所进行的眼科治疗提供了灵感来源。
