The second lecture in the 2019  Museum of  Medical History Lecture Series has been scheduled for August 28, 2019 at 7:00 PM.

Presented by: Mark J. Mannis, MD

Topic Summary: This past year, we commemorated the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, arguably the greatest dramatist of all times.  While much of his life remains shrouded in a great deal of mystery, the works imputed to him remain timeless and enduring in the depth of their human understanding.  The eye, vision, and blindness play significant roles in both the plays and the sonnets of the great Bard as do many other medical issues, and this presentation will review the important role of the eye as a metaphor in the Shakespearean opus..
 
Speaker Bio:    Dr. Mark J. Mannis is the Fosse Endowed Chair in Vision Science Research, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology & Vision Science, UC Davis Eye Center at the University of California, Davis. He also serves as Medical Director of Sierra Donor Services in Sacramento, California. He completed his ophthalmology residency training at Washington University in St. Louis and a fellowship in Cornea and External disease at the University of Iowa.
