Johann Friedrich Horner is remembered in ophthalmology due to his brief report in the German scientific journal 'Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde', in which emphasized the clinical value of a cluster of external signs of damage to the cervical sympathetic nerve. Although J .F .Horner was not the first to describe such a syndrome, he was credited with the nomination. For the French, Francois Pourfour du Petit was the pioneer in that case. Born in Zurich, travelled Europe to be further educated, becoming later on Professor and Director of the University Clinic of Ophthalmology in his native city. In conclusion, J .F .Horner's adamantine character, hard work, assiduous teaching and skills in eye surgery made him one of the main contributors for the evolution of ophthalmology in the nineteenth century Central Europe.
约翰·弗里德里希·霍纳（Johann Friedrich Horner）在眼科学领域广为人知，是因为他在德国科学期刊《临床眼科月刊》（Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde）中简短报告了一组颈交感神经损伤的外部征象的临床价值。尽管 J.F.霍纳（J.F.Horner）并不是第一个描述这种综合征的人，但他因提名而受到赞誉。对于法国人来说，弗朗索瓦·波富尔·杜·皮特（Francois Pourfour du Petit）是这方面的先驱。他出生于苏黎世，游历欧洲接受进一步教育，后来成为他的家乡城市的大学眼科诊所教授和主任。总之，J.F.霍纳（J.F.Horner）坚韧不拔的性格、勤奋的工作、勤勉的教学和眼科手术技能使他成为 19 世纪中欧眼科学发展的主要贡献者之一。
