The iris may become incarcerated in the base of the ulcer and adherent thereto. After healing is completed the condition is known as a leucoma adherens (Fig. 225). The iris may also prevent the proper filling in of the ulcer with fibrous tissue by bulging into the gap. The result of this is that the normal intraocular tension causes the scar to bulge, and an anterior staphyloma is Fig. 226.—Shows the lateral half of an eye in which the whole cornea has been destroyed by ulceration and replaced by a mass of fibrous tissue, which is lined by a network of the uveal pigment. This pseudo-cornea has developed from granulation tissue on the surface of the iris. The tension of the eye was increased; the pseudo-cornea has become staphylomatous and the optic disc is cupped. There is a pyramidal-shaped opacity at the anterior pole of the lens. Specimen in the R. Lond. Ophth. Hosp. Museum. Anterior Staphyloma.—-When the perforation is small, the iris becoming incarcerated gives rise to the formation of granulation tissue on its anterior surface where it lies in the base of the ulcer. This granulation tissue fills in the gap in the cornea, becomes covered with epithelium and converted into fibrous tissue. The scar tissue yielding to.
