In 1828 he attained the title of professor, becoming director of the surgical-medical academy in Dresden.
In 1837 he was named royal physician to Friedrich August II, King of Saxony.
Known for his work in ophthalmology, he was instrumental in making Dresden a center of ophthalmic learning during his lifetime.
In 1830 founded "Zeitschrift für die Ophthalmologie", an early journal devoted to ophthalmology.
In his prize-winning book, "De Iritide" (1835), he made contributions involving investigations of iritis and sympathetic ophthalmia.
His most ambitious written effort in the field of ophthalmology was "Klinische Darstellung
der Krankheiten und Bildungsfehler des menschlichen Auges", a monograph acclaimed for its comprehensive treatment of eye disease, as well as for its superb hand-colored illustrations and its descriptions of congenital eye anomalies.
One of Ammon's earlier works was an impartial comparative study between French and German surgery titled "Vergleich zwischen französischer und deutscher Chirurgie" (1823).
In 1842 he co-authored a significant book on plastic surgery, "Die plastische Chirurgie".

Christoph Friedrich von Ammon (January 16, 1766 – May 21, 1850) was a German theological writer and preacher.
He was born at Bayreuth, Bavaria and died at Dresden.

Seeking to establish for himself a middle position between rationalism and supernaturalism, he declared for a "rational supernaturalism," and contended that there must be a gradual development of Christian doctrine corresponding to the advance of knowledge and science.
But at the same time he sought, like other representatives of this school of thought, such as KG Bretschneider and Julius Wegscheider, to keep in close touch with the historical theology of the Protestant churches.
The term "Offenbarungsrationalismusepiphanic rationalism") has been used to express Ammon's intermediate views.
He was a man of great versatility and extensive learning, a philologist and philosopher as well as a theologian, and a very voluminous author.
His principal theological work was the Fortbildung des Christenthums zur Weltreligion, in 4 volumes (Leipzig, 1833–1840); Entwurf einer reinen
biblischen Theologie appeared in 1792
(2nd edition, 1801), Summa Theologiae Christianas in 1803 (other editions, 1808, 1816, 1830); Das Geschichte des Lebens Jesu in 1842, and Die wahre und falsche Orthodoxie in 1849.
