Bio:

Gerhard Rudolph Edmund Meyer-Schwickerath (July 10, 1920 – January 20, 1992) was a German ophthalmologist, university lecturer and researcher. He is known as the father of light coagulation which was the predecessor to many eye surgeries.

Early Life
Gerhard Rudolph Meyer was born as the son of Edmund Meyer (1887-1973) and Josephine Meyer B. Schmitz (1890-1959) in Elberfeld, Germany. In 1935, the family also adopted surname of Edmund Meyer's mother, Julie Schwickerath (1860-1929) and henceforth Gerhard Rudolph Meyer was stylized as Meyer-Schwickerath. One year after Gerhard's birth, his younger brother, Klaus Meyer-Schwickerath, was born, who went on to study law and become a politician.
