This book is devoted primarily to injuries of the eye. The first of these is an account of how Benvenutus repaired the split eyeball of a boy from Messina and actually restored his sight (1011-18). This is followed by instructions for diagnosing and treating damage to the sight caused by blows to the forehead, temples, or cheekbones (1047-74). Then treatment is prescribed for a fistula, or boil-like infection, in the inner corner of the eye (1075-1142).Grassus, Benvenutus is the author of 'Wonderful Art of the Eye A Critical Edition of the Middle English Translation of His De Probatissima Arte Oculorum', published 1996 under ISBN 9780870134593 and ISBN 0870134590.
