Victor Morax (16 March 1866 – 14 May 1935) was a French ophthalmologist born in Morges, Switzerland. He studied in Freiburg (Germany) and Paris, and from 1891 to 1903 he worked at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. From 1903 to 1928 he was associated with the Hôpital Lariboisière, rejoining the Pasteur Institute as a permanent member in 1929.〔(Institut Pasteur ) Des pasteuriens à leur microscope〕 In 1930 he became a member of the Académie de Médecine. While at the Pasteur Institute, Morax discovered the bacillus ''Moraxella lacunata'', the cause of chronic conjunctivitis. The disease is sometimes referred to as either "Morax' disease" or as "Axenfeld's conjunctivitis", named after German ophthalmologist Theodor Axenfeld (1867-1930), who made his discovery of the bacillus during the same time period as did Morax. In 1923 he became vice-president of the "International League Against Trachoma" with bacteriologist Charles Nicolle (1866-1936) serving as its president. In 1929 he published a treatise on the disorder titled ''Le Trachome''. From 1892 he was editor of the journal ''Annales d’oculistique''. == Written works == * ''Maladies de la conjonctive et de la corné.
