Manuel Straub and the Amsterdam School of Ophthalmology.
Manuel Straub was one of the forefathers of Dutch ophthalmology and is well known for his early work on phacogenic uveitis and refraction. In this historical account of the rise of ophthalmology in the Netherlands, the author traces Straub's significant role and reflects on how his own fate became inextricably linked with Straub and other illustrious Dutch ophthalmologists, such as W.P.C. Zeeman, Otto Roelofs, and Arend Hagedoorn.
