Abstract
One of the many paradoxes that make the study of visual science so attractive is the examination of the relation between ocular structure and function: few anatomists have felt the need to master optics, and how many optical experts have concerned themselves with embryological or developmental detail is anyone’s guess. Perhaps the number of paradoxes is only increased if someone unable to claim expertise in either field steps into the breach. There are, however, worse ways of idling away a few minutes, and who knows? but something of interest may emerge from the attempt.
