Arthur Henry Havens Sinclair

[2] Having decided to specialise in ophthalmology at an early stage, he gained experience in that speciality by visiting clinics in London, Utrecht and Copenhagen.

In the First World War he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps with the Salonika Expeditionary Force.

His main contributions to ophthalmology were the introduction of quantitative perimetry, a method for measuring the visual fields.

[1] Among the advances which the Foundation made was the successful treatment of infections of the cornea in coal miners which greatly reduced the resulting blindness in that occupational group.

[1][3] In 1927 he became President of the Ophthalmologigical Section of the British Medical Association and was elected a member of the Aesculapian Club.

His proposers were Francis Albert Eley Crew, Orlando Charnock Bradley, Sir Harold Stiles, James Watt and Ralph Stockman.

[9] Between the wars he lived at 22 Rothesay Terrace, a spacious two-level apartment in Edinburgh's West End.
