Abstract
Arthur Ferguson MacCallan (1872-1955)was an ophthalmic surgeon who undertook his pioneering work in Egypt between 1903 and 1923. During that time, he established the ophthalmic hospital infrastructure in Egypt consisting of both travelling (mobile) and permanent hospitals, along with the training of surgeons. He also became a world authority on trachoma; the MacCallan Classification of Trachoma, initially published in 1908, was the first grading system used to standardise the diagnosis of trachoma and was later adopted by the WHO.
