This book is a robust historical look at the causes and prevention of blindness, prevalent diseases, and notable medical leaders from Hermann Michael Biggs Memorial Lecture delivered in 1934. It explores the medical and social changes brought forth by understanding causes of poor eyesight, dividing them into congenital and acquired causes. Both categories are thoroughly examined to provide a comprehensive understanding of blindness prevention. The author explores the increased maternal mortality rate from untreated toxemia and discusses the importance of early diagnosis for both mother and newborn. The author also provides his opinion on the use of nitrate of silver for prophylaxis in cases of ophthalmia neonatorum. The author places an emphasis on the importance of early detection of eye issues and outlines the preventive measures that were available at the time of writing. The text provides a look at the early treatments of cataracts and glaucoma and offers hope that future treatments will be less invasive and more successful.
