Based on a rich ophthalmologic tradition in Saxony--for example Georg Bartisch (1536-1606) and his "ophthalmoduleia" furthermore the anatomist and surgeon of the university of Leipzig Justus Gottfried Guenz (1714-1754), working about the staphyloma and criticizing the notorious oculist John Taylor (1703-1772)--the situation at Dresden and Leipzig is described. The development was dynamical, scientifical and in the end independent of surgical specialty. Physiology (Purkinje, Helmholtz), obstetric (Credé) and other medical specialties had a great influence on the ophthalmology too.
The investigation predominantly is determined by the "Staatshandbuch für das Königreich Sachsen" and by the also important address-books of Dresden and Leipzig. In this material are to find the number of ophthalmologists, of clinics and practices as well as the kinds of work.
The ophthalmology in Saxony 100 years ago, especially in the university of Leipzig and in the capital of this country, Dresden, may be mirror of the development in whole Germany. As well in the academic field as in the ophthalmology the specialty was very spreaded and accepted.
In the focus of the ophthalmological picture the extent and the level or the quality of this medical specialty stands. We can say, that the oculists at that time are versed in concerning the operative and conservative therapy. The social welfare played a part in the supply of the blind and in the prescription of glasses. With reference to the chairs and many personalities Saxony was a centre of ophthalmology in Germany.
基于萨克森丰富的眼科传统——例如格奥尔格·巴尔蒂施（1536 - 1606）及其“眼科疾病学”，还有莱比锡大学的解剖学家兼外科医生尤斯图斯·戈特弗里德·京茨（1714 - 1754），他研究葡萄肿并批评臭名昭著的眼科医生约翰·泰勒（1703 - 1772）——描述了德累斯顿和莱比锡的情况。其发展是动态的、科学的，最终独立于外科专业。生理学（浦肯野、亥姆霍兹）、产科学（克勒德）和其他医学专业对眼科也有很大影响。
该调查主要依据《萨克森王国国家手册》以及德累斯顿和莱比锡同样重要的通讯录。在这些资料中可找到眼科医生的数量、诊所和执业机构的数量以及工作种类。
100年前萨克森的眼科，尤其是在莱比锡大学和该国首都德累斯顿，可能反映了整个德国的发展情况。在学术领域和眼科专业方面，该专业都非常普及且被广泛接受。
在眼科情况的核心是该医学专业的范围、水平或质量。可以说，当时的眼科医生精通手术和保守治疗。社会福利在盲人救助和眼镜配给方面发挥了作用。就教授职位和众多杰出人物而言，萨克森是德国眼科的一个中心。
