John Frederick France F.R.C.S. Eng., JP (Born on 15 December 1817, christened on 16 January 1818 at St Luke, Chelsea, London, died on 6 October 1900 at St Leonards on Sea, Sussex) was the Ophthalmic Surgeon at Guy's Hospital from 1847 until 1849.〔Royal College of Surgeons Archives.〕 ==Career== He received his medical education at Guy's Hospital, entering as a medical student in 1835. He immediately distinguished himself and in 1838 received the prize in surgery at the Physical Society. Next year he gained the Silver Medal for Ophthalmic Surgery and became M.R.C.S. Eng. in 1840. Shortly afterwards he was appointed Assistant ophthalmic surgeon to the school. In 1847, he succeeded the late Mr John Morgan as lecturer on Ophthalmic Surgery at the school. He retired from active service at Guys in 1861 and was appointed Consulting Ophthalmic Surgeon. In 1855 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons; he was also a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and JP for Middlesex, London and Westminster.〔British Medical Journal; 20 Oct 1900, 2(2077): 1222-1223.〕 France edited, with notes, the second edition of Morgan's work on Lectures on ''Diseases of the Eye'' (1848) and was a voluminous writer himself on Ophthalmic subjects. To the ‘Guys Hospital Reports’〔Guys Hospital Reports: Third Series Vol VII by Samuel Wilks MD & Alfred Poland.〕 he contributed 17 papers between 1848 and 1861, and numerous other papers appeared in various periodical publications. Examples of these were: *''On Syphilitic Blotch of the Conjunctiva'. *''Case of Diabetic Cataract''. (1858) – France was one of the authors who supported the theory of causal connection between diabetes and cataract, which at that time was still questioned by many physicians. *''On the use of Forceps in Extraction of Cataract''. – France used for fixation of the eyeball, a simple artery forceps (without spring lock) in 27 patients and had success in all of them. France also published clinical observations about eye injuries, paralysis of the pupil and ptosis. GHR (V, page 26, VI, page 24, page 243, 1847–8) In the same journal (October 1845) he reported about the successful extraction of a traumatic calcified cataract from the anterior chamber.
