SUMMARY.
EYE SURGERY AT ST. JOSEPHS HOSPITAL
IN REYKJAVIK 1902 — 1923.
Ever since St. Joseph’s Hospital in Reykjavík
was founded in 1902 — seventy five years ago
— the main Ophthalmic Service in Iceland
has been located there.
The first ophthalmologist in Iceland, dr.
Björn Olafsson belongs to the small group of
pioneers of modern medicine in Iceland about
the turn of the century. His eye-surgery at
the St. Joseph’s Hospital is recorded in Table 1.
Beíore the hospitai was opened he penformed
his operations in his patients’ own homö^.
The most common operations were pro glau-
coma simplex.
The last year he lived, 1909, he performed
20 iridencleisis operations a.m. Holth, the first
filtratating operations done in Iceland.
Before that time iridectomies were the most
prevalent operations for glaucoma.
The most common cataract operation was
von Graefe’s linear extraction of the lens.
Plastic operations on the eyelids and face are
especially notewortfiy. He was the first doctor
in Iceland to transplant a skin-flap without a
pedicle from a distant region.
His first operation of that kind was per-
formed already in 1894. The case histories
printed in this paper are from Ólafsson’s pri-
vate journals.
The second eye-doctor in Iceland was Andrés
Fjeldsted. He treated his patients in St.
Joseph’s Hospital from the beginning of his
career as an ophthalmologist in 1910 until his
death in 1923, According to Table 1 the great
majority of his operations were pro glaucoma.
The first four years he did sclerectomies a.m.
Lagrange, but after that he did corneo-scleral
trepanatio a.m. Elliot.
The first ophthalmologists in Iceland carried
out work comparable with that done by their
colleagues in neighbouring countries.
