GRAFE, ALBRECHT VON (1828187o) , German oculist, son of Karl Ferdinand von Grafe, was born at Berlin on the 22nd of May 1828. At an early age he manifested a preference for the study of mathematics, but this was gradually superseded by an
interest
  in natural science, which led him ultimately to the study of
medicine
 . After prosecuting his studies at Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Paris, London, Dublin and Edinburgh, and devoting
special
  attention to ophthalmology he, in 185o, began practice as an oculist in Berlin, where he founded a private institution for the treatment of the eyes, which became the model of many similar ones. in Germany and Switzerland. In 1853 he was appointed teacher of ophthalmology in Berlin university; in 1858 he became extraordinary professor, and in 1866
ordinary
  professor. Grafe contributed largely to the progress of the science of ophthalmology, especially by the
establishment
  in 1855 of his Archie fur Ophthalmologie, in which he had Ferdinand Arlt (18121887) and F. C. Donders (18181889) as collaborators Perhaps his two most important discoveries were his method of treating glaucoma and his new operation for cataract.
