This book describes the important influences on the career of an eye surgeon, now retired. Dick Galbraith was head of the Eye Clinic at the Royal Melbourne Hospital for twenty two years. For twenty years he led an annual eye team to the Solomon Islands and other islands in the Pacific where he and his team performed sophisticated eye surgery. Dick describes the humour, joy and pathos of his work during that time.Thanks to Phillipe de Montignie, producer of the prize-winning video documentary “Curim Sickness Belong Eye,” who allowed details of the documentary to be included in the book so readers can download it from the Internet.
