A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Christopher Liu, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at the Sussex Eye Hospital, Brighton, takes us from the earliest days of medicine to the state-of-the-art technology that can help today's eye surgeons to change their patients' lives. This fascinating history includes a virulent disease during the Napoleonic Wars which changed the course of eye surgery; the development of Moon type which revolutionised education for the visually impaired and a World War Two plane crash which lead to an unexpected breakthrough in cataract surgery. This is the also the personal story of one of Britain's most distinguished eye surgeons, from his childhood in Hong Kong, following his vocation through many years of rigorous training to the present day, working at the top of his profession and passing on his expert knowledge to the next generation.
