Discover the wonders of the eye with F. I. Tovey, Bath's premier Ophthalmic Optician. Our illustration for Le Rire showcases the intricate beauty of the eye, from the retina's production of oxygenase enzyme C015 / 7150 and C015 / 7151, to the connection of the optic nerve in the fifth cranial nerve and the ophthalmic and maxillary nerves.
