disease and objectivity: ophthalmology

Catalan ophthalmology in the first third of the 20th Century counted with professionals interested in the incorporation of graphic and optical tools, such as Drs. Josep Antoni Barraquer i Roviralta and Francesc Bordàs Salellas. Taking photographs became a most useful tool for the construction of clinical records and the study of ocular pathologies. The Museum harbours an interesting array of photographs, in particular stereoscopic, from this period.
