Abstract
Alfred Vogt (1879-1943) was one of three ophthalmologists from the German-speaking part of Switzerland who had an exceptional impact on ophthalmology during the 20th century; the other two were Hans Goldmann (1899-1991) and Franz Fankhauser (1924-). Vogt is known for his natural gift of observation, his extraordinary memory for facts, and an enormous working capacity. Unfortunately, Vogt's merits and exceptional surgical skills were sometimes overshadowed by his aggressive nature.
