Georg Joseph Beer
Georg Joseph Beer (23 December 1763 – 11 April 1821) was an Austrian ophthalmologist. He is credited with introducing a flap operation for treatment of cataracts (Beer's operation), as well as popularizing the instrument used to perform the surgery (Beer's knife). Career Initially a theology student, in 1786 he earned his medical doctorate from the University of Vienna. Under the guidance of Joseph Barth (1745–1818), his primary focus turned to the field of ophthalmology. However, his professional relationship with Barth was never close, and he later referred to his years with Barth as his "years of torture" (Barth – mentor and tormentor). The final break in their relationship was caused by Barth's favour of Johann Adam Schmidt (1759–1809), who later became a renowned ophthalmologist. Eventually he built a successful practice despite the obstacles created by Barth, who publicly expressed doubts in regard to Beer's qualifications. Beer became a popular teacher, and attrac ...

Francesco Flarer
Francesco Flarer (27 November 1791 – 22 December 1859) was an Italian ophthalmologist born near Merano, South Tyrol. He initially planned to study theology at Innsbruck, but instead enrolled to take classes in medicine, later relocating to the University of Landshut.

In 1815 he received his degree in medicine, followed by a doctorate in surgery shortly afterwards. On advice from Antonio Scarpa (1752–1832), he studied ophthalmology in the clinic of Georg Joseph Beer (1763–1821) at the University of Vienna, where he obtained a degree in 1817. Following his return to Pavia, he worked as an assistant in the anatomy laboratory of Bartolomeo Panizza (1785–1867).
