| 188. A Waldau type antique ophthalmophantome on an articulated stand. The mask phantom was invented ca. 1827 by Dr. Albert Sachs (1803-1835), an ophthalmologist practicing in Berlin, and it was used to teach ophthalmic surgery using cadaver's eyes or pig's eyes (similar in size to the human eye and readily available). Adjustable clamps hold the eyes in place. The jappaned aluminum face may be removed for cleaning by loosening a turn screw on the armature above the forehead and pulling the tab of a pin below the chin. The James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia, Ophthalmological Instruments catalogue of 1889 illustrates a Waldau's Phantom Face for Experimental Operations of the Eye. Dr. Adolf Waldau, the assumptive inventor of this model, was an assistant to the great ophthalmologist Albrecht von Graefe (1828-1870). SOLD |
