| The ophthalmology unit at the Department of Surgical sciences is responsible for the academic activity of ophthalmology at Uppsala university. The academic activity is directly associated with the ophthalmology hospital care at the Ophthalmology, Uppsala University Hospital (Akademiska sjukhuset). |
History
The ophthalmology unit was founded as the Dept. of Ophthalmology by professor Alvar Gullstrand who was the first chair of ophthalmology at Uppsala University, appointed in 1894. Allvar Gullstrand was in 1911 awarded the Noble prize in medicine and physiology for his work on the optics of the eye. Alvar Gullstrand, in 1914 was appointed a personal professorship in physical and physiological optics. Professor e.m. Albert Alm, in close collaboration with the Uppsala company Pharmacia Ophthalmics, directed the clinical development of latanoprost, the first molecule in a new generation of drugs for reduction of intraocular pressure, that now is a market leader in many parts of the world. Professor e.m. Gerd Holmström was one of the founders of the Swedish Retinopathy of prematurity register. Results from Gerds Holmström's research group has contributed to protocols for clinical follow up of retinopathy of prematurity internationally.
