abstract: Witold Jodko-Narkiewicz (1834-1898), a Polish ophthalmologist, the head of the Ophthalmic Institute in Warsaw. He studied medicine at the University of Dorpat. In 1860, he received the title of Doctor of Medicine and became the Associate Professor in 1862. His son Thomas (1864-1924)--a journalist and politician, was a friend of Jozef Pilsudski and Wladyslaw Sikorski. Witold Jodko-Narkiewicz was the author of more than 80 clinical and research works. They concerned surgical and diagnostic techniques, treatment of ocular injuries, neuro-ophthalmology, ophthalmic oncology and pharmacology. The translation of Wecker's Ophthalmology by Jodko-Narkiewicz and Gepner deserves particular attention.
