Jakob Stilling

Jakob Stilling (born September 22, 1842 in Cassel , † April 30, 1915 in Strasbourg ) was a German ophthalmologist.

Life

He was the first son of the anatomist and surgeon Benedikt Stilling and brother of the pathologist Heinrich Stilling and studied medicine in Göttingen, Marburg, Würzburg, Berlin and Paris. In 1861 he became a member of the Corps Brunsviga in Göttingen . In 1865 he received his doctorate as Dr. med.

From 1867 he was an ophthalmologist in Kassel, but also during this time he expanded his knowledge of ophthalmology in Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Turin.

In 1874, with financial help from his father, he founded a private eye clinic in Kassel on Obere Karlsstrasse.

In 1877 he introduced the Stilling's color tables named after him, a series of pesudo-isochromatic tables that were used to provide diagnostic support in examinations of color blindness or color ametropia . These were repeatedly - u. a. by Ernst Hertel and Karl Velhagen - improved, so that they are now known as the Stilling-Hertel color charts or Stilling-Velhagen color charts and today as the (Velhagen) Broschmann-Kuchenbecker color charts.

In 1884 he became an associate professor at the University of Strasbourg after completing his habilitation there in 1880 in ophthalmology.

In 1887 he worked on research into an eye disease that was initially known as Stilling's syndrome. In 1896 Siegmund Türk also worked on it and in 1905 Alexander Duane completed the description of this disease, which is why it is now known as Duane syndrome .
