Biographical History
Professor of Optometry, Indiana University, from 1952. Emeritus status, 1980. Director, Division of Optometry, 1952-1970. Author of Optometry: professional, economic, and legal aspects.
Henry William Hofstetter, Rudy Professor Emeritus of Optometry, was born in Windsor Mills, Ohio in 1914. He earned three degrees from Ohio State University: a B.S. in Optometry in 1939, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physiological Optics in 1940 and 1942. He was awarded several honorary degrees, including an O.D. from the Los Angeles College of Optometry in 1954.
Hofstetter arrived at Indiana University in 1952 to assume the directorship of the newly created Division of Optometry. He held this post until 1970, when he resigned from his administrative duties. Hofstetter remained an active member of the faculty, receiving the Rudy Professorship in 1974. He retired from his academic position in 1979 and was awarded the title Rudy Professor Emeritus by the Board of Trustees. Over the course of his career, Hofstetter wrote, co-authored, or edited more than 400 works, including four editions of the Dictionary of Visual Science, and Optometry: Professional, Economic, and Legal Aspects, which became the standard text on the subject.
