Anterior orbitotomy.

A grouping of amateur films which relate to a travelling eye-clinic (mobile trachoma unit) which was in Iran in 1965 (film already catalogued and digitised), 1967 and perhaps later in the early 1970s. The black and white films are under-exposed and dark and relate to setting up the patient clinics and treating men, women and children and keeping records. There is a single undated colour film with the mobile unit still in the UK. The material isn't edited but compiled in a sequence suggested by a numbering scheme annotated on the original boxes.

Animated slides on the duplicity of vision.

A non-synchronous filmed record of the screen showing closed-circuit television test (or CCTV) of videoing eye movements. Interference patterns ar various frame speeds from 18-25 pictures (frames) per second. Eye surgery at 18 fps; 19 fps; 20 fps; 21 fps; 22 fps; 23 fps; 24 fps; 25 fps. The purpose of the filking is to record the feasibility of capturing the footage without 'elaborate' equipment. The optimum framerate was 22 fps as 'interference is minimal and information content is not impaired'.

The film looks at the steps required to perform the successful implantation of a false eye. The demonstration of the procedure is on a clay model of a head with eye sockets; the camera dissolves between each stage. There are intertitles. Specific cases before and then after surgery are seen. The false eye moves convincingly. Names of the patients  feature prior to the sequences. A summary of the cases and the results appear on the closing intertitle; dates are Jan 1948 to Apr 1950.
