In about 1960, Kearfott painted three very unusual works for the office of his nephew, W. Conrad Stone, who was an ophthalmologist. These works illustrate the most common eye diseases – cataracts, glaucoma, and detached retina – and the symptoms and treatment for each.
A note on the back of one of these paintings reads, “ R. Kearfott did not want to sign these ‘illustrations’, but did so at the request of his nephew, C. Stone.”
