He continued in this capacity until his retirement 10 years later. In 1961 he and his wife, also a physician, moved to Alamo, California, where he died. While a competent ophthalmic surgeon, Dr. Haessler’s greatest professional interest was in the relation of the eye to general and neurologic diseases. He became a member of the American Ophthalmological Society in 1927, his thesis being “The functional blood in corneal vascularization.” He was also a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, the Association for Research in Ophthalmology and the American Medical Association.

Two of his outstanding publications were the film, “Principles of immunology” (1950), and the book, Eye Signs in General Disease (1960). Another book he wrote was Ophthalmologic Diagnosis (1953).

He gave one of the opening addresses at the XIIIth International Ophthalmological Congress “Etiology and not operative treatment of Glaucoma.” In June, 1937, he read a paper for the North of England Ophthalmological Society on a visit to Oslo.

He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

We have the lowest population density in the world, with only two people per square kilometre. Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. It is the sixth largest country in the world. It is also the driest inhabited continent, so in most parts of Australia water is a very precious resource. Much of the land has poor soil, with only 6 per cent suitable for agriculture. The dry inland areas are called ‘the Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. outback’. There is great respect for people who live and work in these remote and harsh environments. Many of It is the sixth largest country in the world. them have become part of Australian folklore. Because Australia is such a large country, the climate varies in different parts of the continent. There are tropical regions in the north of Australia and deserts in the centre. Further south, the temperatures can change from cool winters with mountain snow, to heatwaves in summer. In addition to the six states and two mainland territories, the Australian Government also administers, as territories, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Jervis Bay Territory, the Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the Australian Antarctic Territory, and Norfolk Island.
