Treatment.—Rest, cold applications and atro-pin are indicated. Laceration of the capsule of the lens mayfollow contusion of the globe, in which case theaqueous humor invades the lens substance and atraumatic cataract is the result. Dislocation of the lens is also met with after. ^^rrrmr^^ Partial Dislocation of the Lens. (Berry.) severe contusion. The displacement may be par-tial or total, depending in a great measure uponthe force of the blow and the extent of the rup-ture of its suspensory ligament—the zonula ofZinn. When partial it is usually dislocated into the 336 COMMONER DISEASES OF THE EYE space immediately behind the iris (posteriorchamber). Sometimes its edge is found in theanterior chamber and is there observed as a darkrim. lying at the periphery of the pupil. Whennot cataractous the displaced lens then appearsas an amber-colored body. Since the rays oflight not only pass through the lens margin butthrough the aphakic pupil, as well, and come toa focus at different parts on the retina, diplopiais frequently present. ^~> Dislocation of the Lens Beneath the Conjunctiva. In total dislocation the lens either falls intothe vitreous and disappears entirely, leaving ablack pupil, just as after cataract extraction,or it is forced through the pupil in
