On a personal note, I have always been curious about how my eye condidtion, Stargardt’s Diseast, was named. Looking through the web for something else, I came across this entry in a site called Whonamedit.com, which “is a biographical dictionary of medical eponyms“. It turns out that this condition was first documented by this German ophthalmologist in 1909.
