Summary
This book presents the first hundred years of Moorfields Eye Hospital after its founding in 1805, the world’s first hospital devoted to a single specialty, ophthalmology. It aims to record the hospital’s traditions while also tracing the people and developments tied to nineteenth-century ophthalmology. The narrative is arranged chronologically and draws on committee minutes, annual reports, biographies, and other historical sources, beginning with the institution’s early promoters and figures such as John Cunningham Saunders and Astley Cooper.
