Festschrift in honour of Claes Dohlman.

Abstract

The most recent Acta Ophthalmologica supplement is a Festschrift for Claes Dohlman honoring the retiring chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Harvard Medical School and chief of Ophthalmology at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. The monograph is introduced by a charming contribution from his son, Henrik. It is a toast to Dr Dohlman given at a party in honor of his retirement as chairman in Boston. The lead article deals with a significant aspect of ophthalmic history in Sweden. The senior author is Carin Dohlman, who is assisted by Dr Daniel Albert. "... many good articles... and a few reports of significant new results." Nearly half the articles deal with the pathophysiology and treatment of diseases of the corneal epithelium. Topics range from Dr Berman's review of the biochemical basis of epithelial defects and their repair to Drs Reim and Teping's results on the use of "Tenon plasty"
