In this episode Dr's J and Santhosh peer deep into the windows of the soul to talk about ophthalmology. Along the way they cover the bangles and forced parodies, the oldest ophthalmology doctor and monument, eye anatomy in the time of ancient Greece, cataract couching in ancient India, the invention of eyeglasses and their european influence, fathering a scientific field, oculists and secret societies in Germany, early textbooks, the history of prosthetic eyes, the creation of an entire new field of surgery and the surprising medical studies behind sunglasses.
