Second and better edition, being almost completely rewritten, and enlarged by an entire volume! "The principal work. by the author, after Carron du Villard's treatise 'Guide pratique pour l'étude et le traitement des maladies des yeux' (1838, this is the second systematic textbook in French on disease of the eye. Louis Auguste Desmarres (1810-1882) was one of the leading French ophthalmologists of his day and made a number of important contributions to ophthalmic surgery." "Originally published in one volume in 1847, the three volume second edition was almost completely rewritten with numerous additions made to the text. In this latter edition Desmarres was able to include descriptions of pathological states made possible only by the use of the ophthalmoscope, the description of which had just been published by Helmholtz in 1851. The first volume is introduced by an anatomical description of the eye 'Anatomnie de l'oeil humnain, d'après l'Allemand de Ernest Brucke, avec notes le Docteur Gros, De Moscou' (1847, 54 pp.) translated from the German of Ernst Wilhelm Brücke (1819-1892)." Becker "Nicht blos das umfangreichste, sondern auch das gehaltvollste Lehrbuch der Augenheilkunde, das bis dahin in französischer Sprache erschienen war". Desmarres, Privatsekretär des damals berühmtesten Pariser Augenarztes Sichel, gründete 1841 eine Privat-Augenklinik. "Er hat das Verdienst, in die Ophthalmologie richtigere chirurgische Principien, als vorher in derselben üblich waren, eingeführt zu haben, indem er zeigte, was an chirurgischen Eingriffen, selbst bei ambulanter Behandlung, auch dem Auge geboten werden kann" Hirsch/H. II, 241. "Alles, was die ärztliche Generation (um 1882) an Augenärzten zählt, ist durch Desmarres Klinik gegangen, darunter der berühmteste, Albrecht von Graefe" Hirschberg Becker Coll.
