Abstract
The aim of the chapter on the history of the anterior interface is to learn about who the names behind the structure of the anterior segment of the eye were and how they related to the anterior interface formation. In the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, names of authors were more likely to be confused. It is a generally accepted remark that reference lists in publication are not necessarily correct. Mistakes due to confusion in names, given names, and birth dates because they look alike or they were written incorrectly may start a new life in the scientific world. Even Germain Wieger refers to the wrong “Doctor Petit” in his thesis, which means that his supervisor also did not notice, nor did they verify the accuracy of the reference list of his pupil’s thesis. Nevertheless, even using wrong names, the messages sound accurate, and these wrong names did not jeopardize the meaning of the publication’s content. It is amazing how the scientists of these early times were capable of describing the fine structures of the spaces surrounding the crystalline lens. When looking from that perspective, it is evident that water surrounds the crystalline lens in toto. It gives a better idea about the accommodation process.
