Maximillian Landesberg

Maximillian Landesberg was an ophthalmologist. There is little information about him on the web. Maybe he was German or had German roots because some of his publications are in German. Maybe he moved from Germany to Philadelphia, USA, because other of his publications are in English and published there.
