His book, a second edition of which appeared in 1792, was important for informing the public of the basic facts then known about the anatomy of the eye and vision as well as practical advice about the correct and injudicious use of spectacles. The concluding section discusses strabismus.

Little is known about Degravers. In 1776 he published in London a 56-page pamphlet, Description de la vision, and in 1780 the first edition of the present work as a handsome 4to, of which only a small number of copies still exist. He revised and expanded this in the 1788 8vo edition, of which this is a facsimile reprint. "He knew how to extract a cataract. He had a better grasp of the anatomy of the eye than the Alexander Monros or William Cullen. Two decades before Newton's Opticks, his understanding of the physiology of the eye was more advanced than most. … His would not be a work compiling the knowledge of the ancients, but a personal document for posterity" [Daniel M. Albert in the introduction to brochure accompanying the Gryphon reprint].

Albert, p. 10 of the brochure accompanying this reprint].

Of this book E. D. Adrian wrote: "Sir John's book was a masterly analysis of the facts and an unbiassed examination of the theories, both rare delights. Much of the material was assembled for the first time and given orderly presentation and meaning. His book soon became the classical work of reference on colour vision and its redressing of the balance between fact and theory gave a new impetus to the subject" [British Journal of Ophthalmology 1948, 32 (9): p. 519]. Adrian clearly regarded this as more important than Parsons' general study of perception, though it is the latter that made it into Garrison-Morton.
