Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital
The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (RVEEH) is a specialist public teaching hospital in East Melbourne, Australia. It is the only hospital in Australia which specialises in both ophthalmology and otolaryngology.
==History==
The hospital was established as the Eye and Ear Infirmary in 1863, by Andrew Sexton Gray, an Irish medical practitioner who had emigrated to Victoria. Dr Gray founded the infirmary due to the prevalence of eye and ear diseases at the time, particularly amongst miners on the Victorian gold fields, and also due to poor standards of sanitation and hygiene.〔(Dr Andrew Sexton Gray – Founder 1863–1907 ), Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, 2013.〕 In 1870, Gray's infirmary merged with Ophthalmic and Orthopaedic Institution operated by Aubrey Bowen and Ewin Jones, and in 1878 the hospital was granted valuable land by the Victorian government in what was called Tank Reserve in East Melbourne.〔(Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital, Aubrey Bowen Wing, 126 - 142 Victoria Pde, East Melbourne, VIC, Australia ), Australian Heritage Database, Department of the Environment.〕
In 1978, the RVEEH was the site of a pioneering operation to install the world's first multi-channel cochlear implant (Bionic Ear), developed by Graeme Clark.〔(Australian Inventor Of The 'Bionic Ear' Conducts The World's First Cochlear Implant Operation ), ''80 Days That Changed Our Lives'', ABC.〕 Professor Clark subsequently established the Bionic Ear Institute at the hospital, and one of the laneways through the hospital site was named Bionic Ear Lane to commemorate the research and development by Clark and his team.〔(What's in a Name? The lanes of East Melbourne ), East Melbourne Historical Society.〕
