This paper sets out to discover more about the name 'Tarrant' whose ophthalmic paintings have regularly featured in ophthalmic textbooks over the past 50 years. Through a series of telephone calls, I have spoken to Tarrant about his life and work while I research the origins of ophthalmic illustrations charting the story behind this art movement. The paper also explores the eventual decline of retinal painting and the emergence of photography, concluding that due to the continuing advance of technology the ophthalmic photographer may eventually succumb to the same fate as the artist.
本文旨在更深入地了解“Tarrant”这个名字，他的眼科画作在过去 50 年的眼科教科书中经常出现。在研究眼科插图的起源以追溯这一艺术运动的背后故事时，我通过一系列电话与 Tarrant 交谈，了解了他的生活和工作。本文还探讨了视网膜绘画的最终衰落和摄影的出现，并得出结论，由于技术的不断进步，眼科摄影师最终可能会遭遇与艺术家相同的命运。
