Abstract

One hundred years ago the fledgling ophthalmologist Carl Koller demonstrated that the alkaloid cocaine was a local anesthetic suitable for rendering the eye temporarily insensible to pain. It was an event of historical significance, as his discovery opened the door not only to a new era in ophthalmic surgery, but to surgery in general. In this paper we review the ancient uses of the coca leaf, the historical events leading up to and following Koller's discovery, and the present day uses of cocaine in ophthalmology and medicine.

摘要

一百年前，初出茅庐的眼科医生卡尔·科勒证明生物碱可卡因是一种局部麻醉剂，适用于使眼睛暂时失去痛觉。这是一个具有历史意义的事件，因为他的发现不仅开启了眼科手术的新纪元，也开启了整个外科手术的新纪元。在本文中，我们回顾了古柯叶的古老用途、科勒发现之前及之后的历史事件，以及可卡因在眼科和医学领域的当今用途。
