AbstractThe Impressionist artist Degas suffered severely from loss of vision. He described this many times in his letters. His correspondence and his notebooks mention three ophthalmologists. Degas' words and those of acquaintances, as well as his artistic works, reveal important information about his vision, which allows us to draw conclusions about the cause of his problem.
