Schmidt-Rimpler studied medicine at the Friedrich Wilhelm Institute in Berlin where he received his degree in 1861. He served as a military surgeon for several years and in 1867 became a staff physician at the Friedrich Wilhelm Institute as well as first assistant to Gräfe (see No. 1931). At Gräfe's death, he was appointed provisional head of the Charité's eye clinic and in 1871 became professor of eye diseases at Marburg. He remained at Marburg until 1890 when he moved to the University of Göttingen. Among Schmidt-Rimpler's several ophthalmological treatises is the present work on the relationship between eye diseases and general organic diseases. The work appears as Volume XXI of Nothnagel's Specielle Pathologie und Therapie.
