Adolf Vossius
Adolf Vossius (10 February 1855, Zempelburg – 28 June 1925, Giessen) was a German ophthalmologist.He studied medicine at the universities of Königsberg and Giessen, receiving his doctorate in 1879. Following graduation, he remained at Giessen as an assistant to Arthur von Hippel at the university eye clinic. In 1882 he obtained his habilitation at Königsberg, where five years later, he was named an associate professor. In 1890 he returned to the University of Giessen as a full professor of ophthalmology. At Giessen he opened a new eye clinic on ''Friedrichstrasse''.
In 1906 he described a ring-shaped pigment deposit on the anterior lens surface following trauma to the eye, an injury now known as "Vossius' ring" or as "Vossius' lenticular ring". He described the condition in a paper titled "''Über ringförmige Trübungen an der Linsenvorderfläche nach Kontusionsverletzungen des Auges''". Provided by Wikipedia
