Early life and education

Jessop was born in 1853, the son of Walter Jessop, a surgeon, from Cheltenham. He was educated at Bedford Modern School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge (Matric. Michs. 1872; Tancred Scholar, 1872; B.A. 1876; M.B. and M.A. 1886).[2][3]

He was made Senior Ophthalmic Surgeon at St Bartholomew's Hospital in 1901.[2]

Jessop was President of the Ophthalmological Society of the United Kingdom (1915–17) and made an exhaustive research on the action of cocaine on the eye. ‘He made a unique position for himself in the ophthalmological world and was probably the best known of English ophthalmic surgeons to his brethren on the Continent of Europe.’[2] He was made a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1880 and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1884.[2]
