Three glass eyes with portable velvet carrying case and mirror, c.1870. These were likely meant to be carried by an ocularist – someone who specialized in making and fitting prosthetic eyes – to assist them in making the best possible match to the patient’s remaining eye.

This extraordinary example is from the Wellcome Collection in London.

There is so much interesting stuff in these manuscripts, I'm hardly scraping the surface when cataloguing!

Today I learned new vocabulary: these certain kinds of flasks with flared mouths are known as #jordans

I'm sure this is well known to #medicalHistory people out there. Once the MSS are digitised I hope the real researchers will run with them!
