Abstract
A Pakistani wall plate depicting the anatomy of the eye is described and illustrated. The picture is partly Greek (the hollow optic nerve), in part medieval Arab (the optical image on the disk), and in part modern (e.g., the refraction anomalies). A brief account is given of how Greek science passed to the Arabs and then to India. The wall plate bears witness to the pluralism in Pakistani medicine. Side by side with cosmopolitan medicine there exists the Unani Tibb, based on the Ionic-Arabic tradition.
