The Scope of Corneal Grafting *†

IN considering corneal grafting it must surely be in the thoughts of all of us that we are offering our own special tribute as ophthalmologists to the pioneer work of our colleague and President, Mr. Tudor Thomas. For it was in Cardiff that he carried out that experimental and clinical work which not only inspired ophthalmic surgeons in many parts of the world to study corneal grafting, but which also went far to establish keratoplasty as an effective method of ophthalmic surgery in the treatment of corneal blindness (Tudor Thomas, 1951).
