Historique
In 1925 Mrs Myers and her daughter Miss E Nora Myers established a Children's Ophthalmic Convalescent Home at Mayfield in Sussex. It was intended for the treatment of children suffering from non-infectious eye trouble, especially those requiring prolonged convalescent treatment. It was under the administrative supervision of Miss Myers, a former assistant almoner at Moorfields Eye Hospital, and patients from Moorfields Hospital received reduced fees.
In 1934 Miss Myers decided to resign and Moorfields took over the administrative control of the Home to save it from closure. This was agreed to for a preliminary period of one year, which was then extended. However, only two years later in 1936 the Home was closed down due to a continued decline in the number of children requiring the facilities of the Home.
