The cornea and lens are unaffected. The sclera at theposterior surface of the eye shows a few scattered tubercles inits substance. Repeated search for tubercle bacilli revealed LenS 1 e Many cases are reported in which tuberculous lesions ofcornea, sclera, conjunctiAa, etc., occurred and not a few of tuber-culosis of the iris. Schiiltse (Archiv. f. Augenheilk., Bd. 2,Zy S. 145-158) describedthe chronic tuberculous iritis with exudate into the anteriorchamber, and thinks it due to infection from the conjunctival sac. Ammann (Zur Iristuberkulose, Klin. Monats. f. Augenheilk.,Bd. 35, 1897, S. 135) found in one case a large white tumor in thecorpus ciliare bordering on the iris and cornea. Lubozvski (Arch. f. Augenheilk., Bd. 35, Heft 1/3, S. 183-191)describes a case in which the retina, iris, and ciliary body were tu-berculous, and gave symptoms of glaucoma. The retina in itsposterior part was thickened to three times the normal. A flat,cauliflower like mass projected from the papilla of the optic nerveinto the vitreous. Microscopically this was a tuberculous probably began in the iris and later affected the retina byimplantation from t
