The Refraction and Motility of the Eye is a book written by William Norwood Souter in 1903. The book is a comprehensive study of the human eye, specifically focusing on the topics of refraction and motility. Souter was a prominent ophthalmologist of his time and his work in this field is considered to be highly influential. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of the eye. The first chapter provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the eye, while the second chapter focuses on the principles of refraction. The third chapter delves into the various methods used to measure refraction, including the use of lenses and prisms. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the study of motility, which refers to the ability of the eye to move and focus on objects. Souter discusses the various muscles and nerves involved in this process and describes the different types of eye movements.

The final chapter of the book is devoted to the treatment of eye disorders, including the use of glasses, contact lenses, and surgery. Souter provides detailed information on the different types of surgical procedures available at the time and the risks and benefits associated with each one. Overall, The Refraction and Motility of the Eye is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of ophthalmology. Souter's clear and concise writing style, combined with his extensive knowledge of the subject matter, make this book an essential read for students, researchers, and medical professionals alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
