Publisher's Synopsis
"Manual of Practical Ophthalmology" by George A. Berry, originally published in 1904, is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and visual disorders. This historical text provides detailed descriptions of various ophthalmological conditions, surgical techniques, and examination methods prevalent at the turn of the century. The manual covers a wide range of topics, including refractive errors, cataracts, glaucoma, and other ocular pathologies.
Berry's work offers valuable insights into the evolution of ophthalmology and the practices employed by physicians during that era. It serves as a resource for medical historians, students of ophthalmology, and anyone interested in understanding the historical context of eye care. Although medical practices have advanced significantly since its original publication, this manual remains a fascinating glimpse into the past and a testament to the ongoing quest to improve vision and eye health.
