The visual field is depicted in , and was taken by means of two candles. It represents only asmall patch on the temporal side up and out from the blind Case 5. Small preserved field on temporal side. On the following day the conditions were much the same,with perhaps a greater extent of the retinal edema and even morepronounced reduction in the size of the blood vessels, in whichthere was no reversal of the blood currents. Pressure upon thesevessels almost obliterated them, but did not cause pulsation. \. of O. S. 6/6; refraction hyperopic; media clear; veinsfull; general eyeground in fair condition.
