He received his first training in Amsterdam , where his father Jacob worked as a painter. Relatives took him on in Zutphen, where he attended high school and passed his state examination in 1845. On September 1 of that year he moved to the military school for doctors in Utrecht , where Franciscus Cornelis Donders became his formative teacher. On July 17, 1849 he became a 3rd class military doctor and worked as such in Amersfoort with the mounted artillery. In 1850 he was briefly in Haarlem , two months later in Rotterdam and in May 1851 received an offer to go to the Dutch colonies of India. However, he wanted to do a doctorate beforehand. He then enrolled at the University of Leiden on June 26, 1851 , was appointed 2nd class military doctor on June 30, 1851 and passed the medical exam.

On September 6, 1851, he received his doctorate in medicine with the medical treatise continens septem casus morbi cholerae asiaticae cum epicrisi adnexa , became a doctor of gynecology on October 17, and a doctor of surgery on October 29. On October 29 of the same year he began a voyage in Rotterdam which took him to Batavia on April 7 , where he worked at the hospital. Here he also got a job as a lecturer at the medical school there, where he taught young Javanese doctors in anatomy, physiology and surgery. On May 6, 1859, he was promoted to military doctor 1st class and got a job in Semarang . In May 1860 he returned to his home in the Netherlands, where he again attended lectures by Donders and studied the ophthalmoscope and the ophthalmometer by Hermann von Helmholtz .

In September 1863 he returned to Java, where he established himself as a doctor in Batavia. To advance his ophthalmic studies, he left Java on January 15, 1869 for his homeland. Here he was appointed extraordinary professor for ophthalmology (ophthalmology) at the medical faculty of the University of Leiden on June 3, 1869, which task he took on on October 2 of the year with the speech Over het tegenwoordig standpunt der oogheelkunde . On January 24, 1877, he became a full professor of the field mentioned and on September 15, 1877 he took over the chair for otology. This made him the first Dutch university professor in these fields. In that capacity he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1883/84 . On January 1, 1895, he resigned his chair for health reasons, retired on December 16, 1895 and retired on January 17, 1896.
