title: [The stele of the eye doctor in the Museum of Bar and the logo of the French Language Society for the History of Ophthalmology].
abstract: The objectives are to: recall the circumstances of discovery of two corner pillars 45 years apart and other objects belonging to a circa second century Gallo-Roman temple; analyze the sculptures, of which the best known is the "stele of the eye doctor", which the French Language Society for the History of Ophthalmology took as inspiration for its logo; discuss the significance of instruments and procedures within a markedly religious context at a time when the mystery cults appeared; provide elements for discussion on the interpretation of the scenes depicted on the two pillars.
