Comment on: An eye on the brain: Adding insight to injury

I read with the interest article by Danesh-Mayer.1 She wrote that James Lydston in 1895 gave “possibly the first published reference to the optic nerve as a potential clinical and scientific window into the central nervous system.” This is the good occasion to mention the earlier contributor to this area, Polish ophthalmologist Ksawery Gałęzowski (1832-1907), who in 1866 published a w hole textbook on this topic2 and coined the term cerebroscopy for ophthalmoscopy of optic disc to diagnose central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
