Bowman, the 1st Baron (July 20, 1816 - March 29, 1892) was a British surgeon, histologist and anatomist. He is best known for his research on various human organs using microscopes, but during his lifetime he pursued a successful career as an ophthalmologist. Bowman's earliest remarkable work was on the structure of the striated muscle. To this end, he was selected as an academician of the Royal Society in 1841. After completing his surgical training in 1844, Bowman practiced as an ophthalmologist at the Royal London Eye Hospital (after the Murphy Eye Hospital). In 1880, he founded the "Ophthalmology Society" and later became the Royal Academy of Ophthalmology. Bowman Pouch, his name is named Anatomy.
