Fig. 162.—The lateral half of an eye which has had a cataract extracted from it with iridectomy one year and eight months previous to its removal. A discis- sion of the capsule was performed a year later. The sight became destroyed as the result of secondary glaucoma. The lens capsule is shown adherent to the extraction cicatrix at the sclero-corneal margin. Its advance in position has dragged forward the iris and occluded the angle of the anterior chamber. There is a large hole in the centre of the capsule as the result of the discussion operation. From the Museum R. Lond. Ophth. Hosp. veins. An increase of albumen in the vitreous would cause more, of the less albuminous secretion of the ciliary body, to diffuse backwards through the anterior hyaloid membrane and so cause the vitreous to enlarge. Enlarge- ment of the vitreous would push forward the lens, shallow the anterior chamber, and approximate the root of the iris to the cornea. Occlusion of the angle of the chamber is not found in every case, the angle may be widely open and filled with an albuminous coagulum, which no doubt ac- counts for the increase of tension in such 1 G.
