Extractions: Allvar Gullstrand , eldest son of Dr. Pehr Alfred Gullstrand, Principal Municipal Medical Officer, and his wife Sofia Mathilda Uppsala University , which he left in 1885, and spent a year at Vienna, afterwards continuing his medical studies at Stockholm where he graduated in medicine in 1888, presented his doctorate thesis in 1890, and was appointed Lecturer in Ophthalmology in 1891. After holding various appointments as Doctor and Lecturer and serving on the Swedish Medical Board, he was appointed the first Professor of Ophthalmology at Uppsala University in 1894. He was entirely self-taught in the fields covering his most important work (geometric and physiological optics). The basis of the science he developed was laid in 1890 in his thesis Bidrag till astigmatismens teori (Contribution to the theory of astigmatism). The complete proof of this theory is found in the following three works:

Extractions: Gullstrand Archiv fur Kunst und Geschichte, Berlin (b. June 5, 1862, Landskrona, Swed.d. July 28, 1930, Stockholm), Swedish ophthalmologist, recipient of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his research on the eye as a light-refracting apparatus. Gullstrand studied in Uppsala, Vienna, and Stockholm, earning a doctorate in 1890. He became professor of diseases of the eye at Uppsala in 1894 and in 1913 was appointed professor of physiological and physical optics there. Gullstrand contributed to knowledge of the structure and function of the cornea and to research on astigmatism. He improved corrective lenses for use after surgery for cataracts and devised the Gullstrand slit lamp, a valuable diagnostic tool that facilitates detailed study of the eye. Gullstrand's investigations led to a new concept of the theory of optical images. He expanded the classic theory of the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz to include the redisposition of internal parts of the lens structure in accommodation, a mechanism by which the eye can focus for near or far vision within certain limits. Gullstrand showed that although accommodation depends about two-thirds on the increase in convexity of the lens surface, the remaining one-third does not.

Extractions: ABSTRACT Allvar Gullstrand was born in Sweden on June 5, 1862. He began his studies at his native Landskrona, then matriculated at the University of Uppsala School of Medicine and graduated from the University of Stockholm in 1888. In 1891, he was appointed professor of ophthalmology at the Karolinska Institute and named chairman of ophthalmology at his Alma Mater, the University of Uppsala, in 1894 for the next 19 years. He retired from clinical ophthalmology in 1914 to continue his research on optical instruments as Professor of Physiological Optics at the same university. Gullstrand contributed extensively to clinical and surgical ophthalmology. In his theories and investigations, he devised the slit lamp and the reflex free ophthalmoscope, and introduced a surgical technique for the treatment of symblepharon and redefined the theory of accommodation. He was an honorary member of a great number of ophthalmologic societies, Doctor Honoris Causa in different universities, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1911 for his work on the dioptrics of the eye. Gullstrand has been the only individual that has declined and accepted a Nobel Prize during the same year. In addition to being a clinical ophthalmologist, he was a brilliant administrator and researcher. He died on July 28, 1930, leaving as his legacy easy
Extractions: RESUMEN Allvar Gullstrand nació en Suecia el 5 de Junio de 1862. Inició sus estudios en Landskrona para luego inscribirse en la facultad de medicina de la Universidad de Uppsala y graduarse en la Universidad de Estocolmo en 1888. En 1891, obtuvo el nombramiento como profesor docente en el área de Oftalmología en el Instituto Karolinska, asumiendo en 1894 la jefatura de Oftalmología de su alma mater, la Universidad de Uppsala, por un periodo de 19 años. Abandonó la cirugía oftalmológica en 1914, para dedicarse a la investigación sobre instrumentos ópticos como Profesor de Fisiología óptica en la misma universidad. Gullstrand contribuyó extensamente a la oftalmología clínica y cirugía oftalmológica. Mediante sus teorías e investigaciones, diseñó la lámpara de hendidura, el oftalmoscopio libre de reflejo, desarrolló técnicas quirúrgicas para el tratamiento del simblefaron y redefinió la teoría de la acomodación. Fue miembro honorario de gran número de sociedades oftalmológicas, Doctor Honoris Causa de diferentes universidades y fue galardonado con el premio Nobel en 1911 por su trabajo con respecto a las dioptrías del ojo. Gullstrand ha sido el único individuo que ha rechazado y aceptado un premio Nobel el mismo año. Además de ser un oftalmólogo clínico, también fue un brillante investigador y administrador. Falleció el 28 de julio de 1930, dejando en nuestras manos instrumentos de uso sencillo para una adecuada exploración física y un correcto diagnóstico de patologías oculares.

Extractions: Allvar Gullstrand's Life and Work fter studying ophthalmology in Uppsala, Vienna and Stockholm, Gullstrand was initially employed as a freelance lecturer in Stockholm. In 1891 he became a full-time salaried lecturer, and in 1894 Professor of Ophthalmology in Uppsala University, a post which he held until 1913. In 1911 he received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his work on the dioptric apparatus of the eye performed jointly with Moritz von Rohr, with which they placed the correction of refractive errors in the eye by means of eyeglasses on a strictly scientific basis. In 1913 a chair of Physiological and Physical Optics was specially created for him at the University of Uppsala. He received numerous honorary doctorates; in 1928 the German Society of Ophthalmology awarded him the Graefe medal, a prize that is only presented every ten years. Allvar Gullstrand: Ophthalmologist and Ophthalmic Optician In 1899 Allvar Gullstrand began his research work on corneal astigmatism. He developed a general theory on astigmatism and the theory of monochromatic aberration. In optics, he expanded on the theory of surfaces and ray systems. He also devised "Gullstrand's formula" for the calculation of the total refracting power of optical systems:

Extractions: Gullstrand, Allvar 1862-1930, Swedish ophthalmologist. He was professor (1894-1927) successively of eye therapy and of optics at the Univ. of Uppsala. He applied the methods of physical mathematics to the study of optical images and of the refraction of light in the eye. For this work he received the 1911 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. He is noted also for his research on astigmatism and for improving the ophthalmoscope and corrective lenses for use after removal of a cataract from the eye.
