Ocularius

An oculist; a medical specialist who devoted himself to the treatment of the eyes (Scrib.Comp. 37; Cels. vi. 6, 8). At Rome these practitioners were generally Greek, and appear not to have been numerous before the first century A.D. A number of seals belonging to these physicians have been found, and are described by Villefosse Thédenat, Les Cachets d'Oculistes Romains (Paris, 1882). See also Grotefend, Die Stempel der Augenärzte (Hanover, 1867); and Fröhner in the Phil. Suppl. v. 87.
