Hugh Joseph Taggart (1893-1969) was an Ophthalmic Surgeon. He became surgeon to the Western
Ophthalmic Hospital, and Ophthalmic Surgeon to the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth, and to the
Chelsea Hospital Group. He was particularly interested in squints and ptosis (drooping of the upper
eyelid). The warmth of his personality distinguished him among his contemporaries, and was an
inspiration to his juniors, and deeply appreciated by his patients. His hobby was collecting musical
boxes.
