Gourt Home::Gourt :: Edward Treacher Collins
Dr. Edward Treacher Collins (1862–1932) was an English surgeon and ophthalmologist. He is best known for describing the Treacher Collins syndrome which bears his name.
He was the son of Dr. W. J. Collins and Miss Treacher. Treacher Collins used his mother's maiden name together with his family name without a hyphen, according to the custom of the time.
He entered University College in London, and then in 1879 he began studies at Middlesex Hospital and received his medical degree in 1883. Influenced by his older brother Sir William Collins, he decided to specialize in ophthalmology. For his internship, he went to the Moorfields Eye Hospital, where he remained as a faculty member for the next 48 years. His work culminated in the publication Researches into the Anatomy and Pathology of the Eye in 1896, which earned him worldwide recognition.
