"Jacques Lazerme must occupy [... in the history of oculistics in Montpellier] a more important place although what he wrote on eye diseases is included in a more general treatise on therapeutics. Indeed, the first volume of this book contains short, good definitions of ocular therapeutics. Precision and clarity reign supreme. Medicines are simply prescribed. Mineral waters are recommended. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, he has a real grasp of ocular surgery. This very well-balanced chapter contrasts with the one on ear and mouth ailments, which are treated very superficially." (Dulieu: La médecine à Montpellier III-pp. 382-383). 4. SICHEL (Dr. Jules): Traité de l'ophthalmie, la cataracte et l'amaurose, pour servir de supplément au traité des maladies des yeux de Weller.
