Probably the most massive and detailed nineteenth-century work on ophthalmology, this is Sichel's magnum opus and is said to have taken twenty-five years to complete. The eighty delicately executed colorplates illustrate virtually every eye malady known at the time and they remain accurate in nearly every detail. The accompanying text includes thorough discussions of the various diseases based on the case histories of Sichel's patients.
