August Von Rothmund

	August Von Rothmund August von Rothmund (August 1, 1830 – October 27, 1906) was a German ophthalmologist from Volkach, Lower Franconia. In 1853 he received his doctorate from the University of Munich, and furthered his studies in Berlin under Albrecht von Graefe (1828–1870); in Prague with Carl Ferdinand von Arlt (1812–1887) and in Vienna with Eduard Jäger von Jaxtthal (1818–1884). In 1854 he returned to Munich, where he became director of the surgical policlinic (Reisingerianum). In 1863 he was appointed "full professor", at the University of Munich, where he practiced ophthalmology until his retirement in 1900.

This may result in trouble driving, reading, or recognizing faces. Poor vision caused by cataracts may also result in an increased risk of falling and depression. Cataracts cause 51% of all cases of blindness and 33% of visual impairment worldwide. Cataracts are most commonly due to aging but may also occur due to trauma or radiation exposure, be present from birth, or occur following eye surgery for other problems. Risk factors include diabetes, longstanding use of corticosteroid medication, smoking tobacco, prolonged exposure to sunlight, and alcohol.
