Ophthalmological eponyms

Who was Behcet (he of the Disease), or Marfan (he of the Syndrome)? A site called Doyne's Hall of Fame, mounted on the Success in MRCOphth site maintained by Mr. C. Chua, an ophthalmologist in (I think) Oxford, will tell you.

http://www.mrcophth.com/ophthalmologyhalloffame/Doynehalloffame.html. Whonamedit.com (at www.whonamedit.com) is another useful eponym site.
