Magnified 2 X 1. The short rupturewhich is situated in the limbus has now become visible, a a\, the angles of the sphincter which are nowproperly placed. Sometimes very small ruptures occur right in the limbus itself or even in the trans-parent cornea (Figs. 131, ac and ad). In these, owing to the close attachment of theconjunctiva, the latter is necessarily ruptured and the iris almost always prolapses. 344 TEXT-BOOK OF OPHTHALMOLOGY The prognosis of these small ruptures is good, provided the prolapsing iris is occur comparatively often in young people (even in children), while the m
