title: Robert M. Lockwood and George A. Rogers, early twentieth century optometry authors.
abstract: A significant factor in the continuing development and maturation of professional optometry in the early twentieth century was book and journal literature. Some of the prominent optometric writers of that era do not seem to be remembered today. Two examples are Robert Minturn Lockwood (1857-1920) and George A. Rogers (1852-1935). This article provides biographical sketches of each of them and brief descriptions of the contents of the books they published.
