Abstract
Throughout the Middle Ages, Dubrovnik maintained active and regular commercial and maritime contacts with various cities and states of the Mediterranean. These activities led to the organisation of a health care system and the development of medicine. With respect to the economic, commercial and maritime aspects of the culture of this city state, Dubrovnik became open to the civilizing progress of the region and period. The brief visit of the Mediaeval ophthalmologist, Master Samuel Ebrej, supports this fact.
