He was born in Budapest in 1892, finished his studies in Budapest, had been at the front for years during World War I. As a young man he became Head of Department of Ophthalmology and worked in several institutes, later in St. John's Hospital for 30 years. In his well-organized institute of high level many specialists had been trained. In 1929 he published his procedure to make individual contact glasses with moulding of living eye. However, he was not concerned with industrial relations of his invention. His method was taken over by Zeiss Works and, in London Mr. Dallos based manufacturing on that. His operation for reconstruction of contracted orbital cavity due to an accident or chemical inquiry, making possible wearing ocular-prothese with use of free skin-graft, can be found in great monographs on surgery, too: Arruga, Blaskovics, Thiel, Mackensen- Neubauer.
