Verplaatsen van een deel van de iris tijdens een oogoperatie before 1873

"Verplaatsen van een deel van de iris tijdens een oogoperatie" (Moving a part of the iris during an eye operation) is a photograph taken by A. de Montméja before 1873. It depicts a surgical procedure, likely a form of iridectomy, where a portion of the iris is removed. The photograph, taken from a close-up perspective, captures the meticulous nature of the operation. The detailed depiction of the surgeon's hands manipulating instruments and the patient's eye highlights the precision and potential risks associated with ophthalmological surgery in the 19th century. This image is a valuable document of medical practices and visualizes the pioneering work in the field of ophthalmology during the era.
