Bruno Fleischer, born in Stuttgart on May 2, 1874 devoted to the high school a study of medicine at the universities of Tübingen , Geneva and Berlin , which he 1898 in Tübingen with the acquisition of the academic degree of Dr. med. completed. As a result, Fleischer was given an assistant position at the eye clinic before he completed his habilitation in ophthalmology in 1904 and was appointed associate professor in 1909. As a student in Tübingen, he joined the Igel University of Tübingen in the winter semester of 1892/93 .

In 1920 Bruno Fleischer accepted the call to the University of Erlangen for the chair of ophthalmology. Fleischer, who like many of his generation colleagues did not join the NSDAP , filled this position until his retirement in 1951. Bruno Fleischer died on March 26, 1965 a few weeks before he would have turned 91 in Erlangen.

In 1903, independently of the work published by his colleague Bernhard Kayser in 1902, Bruno Fleischer described the Kayser-Fleischer corneal ring, later named after the two of them, in Wilson's disease . The Fleischer Ring , an iron deposit in the outer epithelial cells , was also named after him . They are typically yellowish to dark brown and can be continuously interrupted.
