Eugène Follin

François Anthyme Eugène Follin (25 November 1823 in Harfleur – 21 May 1867) was a French surgeon and ophthalmologist.

He obtained his doctorate in 1850 with a thesis titled "Recherches sur les corps de wolf".

His earlier writings largely dealt with themes involving anatomy, pathology and general surgery.

Around 1853, his focus turned to ophthalmology, of which he was the author numerous articles on glaucoma, iridectomy, accommodation, retinal haemorrhage and treatment of diseases of the lachrymal passages.

He was the author of "Leçons sur l'application de l'ophthalmoscope au diagnostic des maladies de l'oeil" (1859, edited & published by Paul Arthur Doumic), an atlas that is considered to be the first work in the French language dedicated to use of the ophthalmoscope.
