Talk:Charles Deval

Please note that Deval's book is an edition of Desmarres' original Traite theoretique et practique des malaides des yeux published in 1847. Therefore Deval should not be attributed to writing the second ophthalmic textbook in French. The proper credit is to Desmarres. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.182.93.200 (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I recant the previous statement. Deval's Traité de Chirurgie Oculaire does precede Desmarres' textbook by several years. - tofoo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.182.93.200 (talk) 17:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
