  • Ludwig Laqueur (July 25, 1839 – April 20, 1909) was a German ophthalmologist born in Fürstenberg, Silesia. He studied medicine in Paris and Berlin, earning his doctorate in 1860. From 1863 to 1869 he worked as an assistant at Richard Liebreich's ophthalmological hospital in Paris. In 1873 he became an associate professor at the University of Strasbourg, where in 1877 he was appointed a full professor of ophthalmology. Laqueur is remembered for his research of physostigmine, a chemical substance found in the Calabar bean (Physostigma venenosa) of West Africa. In 1876 he published Ueber eine neue therapeutische Verwendung des Physostigmin, suggesting the use of physostigmine for the treatment of glaucoma . Laqueur noticed that extracts of the Calabar bean significantly lowered intraocular pressure. He could attest to these results first-hand, because Laqueur suffered from glaucoma, a fact that was kept secret from his medical colleagues until after his death.
