TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - "Eye injuries" by the Byzantine writer Aetios Amidinos JO - Documenta Ophthalmologica A1 - Fronimopoulos, J. A1 - Lascaratos, J. SP - 121 EP - 124 VL - 68 IS - 1-2 N2 - The authors give a short report of the "Injuries of the Eye" by the Byzantine writer Aetios Amidinos. He wrote 16 medical books, among them "The 7th Logos", including Eye Diseases. In all his writings, there is a substantial resort to ancient medical literature, mainly to the books of Galen. He describes the Eye Injuries in 5 chapters with remarkable critical ability and suitable treatment. Thus he is acknowledged as one of the most cultured and productive writers of that period.
