Who made it?

Dr. Philipp Franko Zeitz started to work on the “Dictionary of Ophthalmology” in Summer of 2010. The digital structure at that time was programmed by Thomas Lichterbeck.

Since the end of 2010 Frau Prof. Dr. Wiebke Petersen from the Institute for Computational Linguistics at the University of Düsseldorf joined the work by analyzing the dictionary from the linguistic point of view. In Spring of 2011 Denis Anuschewski from the same institute started to improve the functional aspects of the dictionary. Since the winter term of 2011 this dictionary is an official content of the students´ working material.

In 2015 Swiss-based medical translator Hsin-wen Amanda Wu contributed the Chinese part.
