Cases of sympathetic ophthalmitis following rupture of the eye have been recorded. ii. Concussions As the result of a blow on the front of the eye from a blunt object, various lesions of the intraocular contents may occur without any rupture of the sclerotic being produced, these may be conveniently classed as concussion injuries. The tendency of a blow from a blunt object on the front of the eye is to flatten out the cornea, which has a greater. Fig. i8i.—The lateral half of an eye injured by a blow from the stick of a catapult. On the right side iridodialysis has occurred, and the suspensory ligament has ruptured, the vitreous extending forward between the lens and the ciliary body. On the left side there has been a partial rupture of the ligamentum pectinatum and of the .ciliary hiuscle, prolonging the angle of the anterior cham- ber outward. The lens is misshapen, due to rupture of its capsule. Specimen in the R. Lond. Ophth. Hosp. Museum. curvature than that of the sclerotic and projects from its surface. Flattening out of the cornea forces the aqueous humour backward and laterally. Backward displacement of the aqueous humour presses on the iris and lens, and its lateral displacement widens out the angle of the anterior chamber. The receding iris finds more support centrally from the lens than peripherally from the suspensory liga- ment. The strain produced by such an injury is, therefore,.
