A total of 74 ophthalmic proverbs and aphorisms were retrieved from 130 texts and divided into seven categories: (i) importance of vision (\u2018The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body\u2019); (ii) definition of blindness and anatomical observations (\u2018The eye is protected by the lashes, eyebrows, and orbit\u2019); (iii) diseases of the eye such as presbyopia, sensitivity to light and dry eye (\u2018Tear in the eye is jewel\u2019); (iv) the eye as a window of the body; (v) vulnerability of the eye (\u2018The eye cannot oppose an awl\u2019); (vi) health behaviours and protection of sight (\u2018Be gentle with two: women and eyes\u2019), and finally; and (vii) nutrition and vision (\u2018Carrots improve vision\u2019). The majority of these proverbs and aphorisms can be used as a guide, not for prognosis, diagnosis or cure, but rather for ocular health promotion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2006.01311.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]],"date-time":"2006-08-09T10:30:48Z","timestamp":1155119448000},"page":"701-704","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ophthalmology in proverbs and aphorisms"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Ahmad M","family":"Mansour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rola N","family":"Hamam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abla","family":"Mehio\u2010Sibai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","volume-title":"The Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations","author":"McDonald P","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","volume-title":"Familiar Medical Quotations","author":"Strauss MB","year":"1968"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","first-page":"35","volume-title":"Prophecies and Other Literary Writings","author":"Da Vinci L","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","volume-title":"A Dictionary of Arabic and Islamic Proverbs.","author":"Lunde P","year":"1984"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","volume-title":"Russian\u2010English Dictionary of Proverbs and Sayings","author":"Margulis A","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","volume-title":"Proverbs and Wise Sayings","author":"Vithayathil P","year":"1987"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","volume-title":"Proverbs","author":"Gluski J","year":"1971"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","first-page":"699","article-title":"Ophthalmology in medical aphorisms of Moses Maimonides","volume":"74","author":"Rosner F","year":"1974","journal-title":"NY Stat J Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","first-page":"126","volume-title":"The Proverb","author":"Taylor A","year":"1931"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","volume-title":"The Dragon\u2019s Almanac Chinese, Japanese and Other Far Eastern Proverbs","author":"Wintle J","year":"1985"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","first-page":"447","volume-title":"Dio Chrysostom.
