History
The first reference to the Department of Ophthalmology in the Dalhousie University calendars is in 1953-1954, where Dr. A. Ernest Doull is identified as the Head of the Department. At this point, it was named the Department of Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology. In previous calendars (since 1875), Ophthalmology is listed as a subdivision of courses offered by the Faculty of Medicine, but there was no indication that it was organized as a department. It is now called the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Services.
