Thomas Whately - Remarks on the Treatment of Some of the Most Prevalent Varieties of Inflammation of the Eye - 1819

Rare early 19th-century English medical treatise devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of ocular inflammation.
Thomas Whately, a surgeon of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, presents detailed case studies of acute and chronic eye disease, with emphasis on bleeding, topical astringents, and clinical observation.

Dedicated to Dr. John Sims, M.D., F.R.S., this work is among the earliest independent English publications focused exclusively on ophthalmic inflammation — preceding the establishment of Moorfields Eye Hospital.
