In preparation for an exhibit highlighting the Library's treasures in optics and ophthalmology, I have selected Casey A. Wood as the starting point. Wood was born in Wellington, Ontario in 1856. He began his medical study with his father, continued at the University of Bishop's College medical department and after examination became a member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and Quebec in 1877.
In 1886 he began study to specialize in ophthalmology and otology at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, followed by two years of study in Berlin, Paris, Vienna and London. He settled in Chicago in 1889 and began a successful practice, with hospital appointments at Cook County, Alexian Brothers', Passavant, St. Luke's and the Post-Graduate Medical School, as well an academic appointment at the latter and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons (University of Illinois). Later, he became Professor of Ophthalmology at Northwestern University, Chicago.
Popup blockers disable any popup, pop-over, or pop-under windows from displaying while using a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. They are popular with users because they block unwanted popup advertisements from displaying. However, because popup blockers block all popups, they can also disable helpful popup windows from opening as well. For instance when you click on a full-text article link in Ovid MEDLINE a new window will open up. Many of the current popup blockers installed will block this window.
