Excerpt from Ocular Therapeutics According to the Most Recent Discoveries
This more or less literal translation has been made from the second edition of Dr. A. Darier's Lecons de therapeutique oculaire. In presenting it to the medical profession I feel that no apology is called for, inasmuch as the author enters into new remedies and methods of treatment that are yet scarcely known in this country, besides describing fully the better understood treatments commonly adopted for the cure of eye disease. Indeed, it may be safely said that even the most experienced ophthalmic surgeon has something to learn about the treatment of eye disease from a perusal of Dr. Darier's book.
The almost purely personal character of the Lectures has been criticised in some quarters. It is mainly accounted for by the fact that they are the outcome of Dr. Darier's own researches into the action of the remedies he deals with. In my opinion, it is a good rather than a bad point.
Dr. Darier has been kind enough to revise the proof-sheets of this translation, and, in doing so, has made important additions to many of the sections. He has, moreover, added two new chapters (XXII and XXV), which have not yet appeared in the original work. They cannot but add to the completeness and value of the book.
The metrical system adopted in the original work has been retained unaltered in the translation.
Finally, it should be noted that Lecons de therapeutique oculaire has been awarded the Desportes Prize (1902) by the French Academy of Medicine as "the best work published on practical therapeutics."
