He studied medicine in Paris, becoming an interne in 1845, followed by positions as aide of anatomy (1847) and prosector (1850). He obtained his doctorate in 1850 with a thesis titled "Recherches sur les corps de wolf". In 1853 he became an associate professor of surgery.

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
lens aperture of the device.[3]
