Abstract

Recently, the authors encountered an intriguing and largely incomplete ophthalmoscope. The quest to identify and restore it led to a re-evaluation of the evolution of the modern-day ophthalmoscope and a re-examination of the life and contributions of its inventor, the Norwegian ophthalmologist Hjalmar August Schiøtz.
