A Vital Cornerstone of Vision Science: The Rediscovered Works of Dr. Frederick W. Brock
Unearth the Foundational Principles That Shaped Modern Practice.
For medical professionals, researchers, and students committed to the deep understanding of vision and its mechanisms, the Optometric Extension Program Foundation (OEPF) is proud to present a meticulously restored volume of the essential works of Dr. Frederick W. Brock, D.O.S.
Originally published as a landmark serialization in Optometric Weekly from 1947 to 1957, Dr. Brock’s seminal writings offer profound insight into the clinical and theoretical concepts that underpin contemporary vision care. These texts represent a crucial link to the historical development of our field yet have been largely inaccessible for over seventy years.
The Project: Scholarly Dedication Meets Historical Preservation
This ambitious publication is the result of a rigorous, multi-year historical recovery effort spearheaded by Dr. Sue Barry and meticulously edited by Dr. Marc Taub, OD, MS, EdD. The process required an unparalleled commitment to accuracy and provenance:
- Authentication & Retrieval: The complete, original series was successfully located in the archives of the Southern College of Optometry (SCO).
- Legal & Ethical Clearance: Permission was secured from Dr. Brock’s living family, honoring his legacy and allowing for the ethical re-publication of this significant material.
- Clinical Integrity: The entire text was scanned, converted, and verified for accuracy by student volunteers. Expert publication staff painstakingly restored all original images and precisely recreated data tables. Dr. Taub’s editing focused on correcting obvious production mistakes and original errors while strictly maintaining the integrity and nuance of Dr. Brock’s original clinical discourse.
