After being grounded in philosophy, mathematics, and other sciences he became a pupil in medicine under Avenzoar.

Avenzoar (Ibn Zohr) a little later made numerous important medical and surgical discoveries.

Avenzoar speaks of a golden probe for applying salve to the eye and for separating adhesion of the eye to the lid.

This is not absolutely conclusive evidence, but because of it I have preferred to class Avenzoar among the Arabian physicians.

Ebn Zoar, better known as Avenzoar, may be looked upon as the authority in Moorish pharmacy.
