In some the nucleus has been displaced backward. Probably in many of the cases the lens would in time have become completely opaque if the eye had not been Fig. 26.—Section through the lens from the eye of a child aged 9 months. Clinically a gray reflex was seen from its posterior surface with a hemorrhage ap- parently in the lens itself. The lens fibres have become much broken up as the result of the hardening reagent. There is a mass of fibrous tissue shown at the posterior surface of the lens filling a gap in the posterior capsule (c). In front of this fibrous tissue in the lens substance are hemorrhages (h) which doubtless came from the central hyaloid artery. Case recorded in R. Lond. Ophth. Hosp. Reps., XIII, 363. If in a case of this sort, in which the lens has become com- pletely opaque, the operation of discission of the anterior capsule is performed, the lens matter in front of the fibrous membrane will become absorbed by the action of the aqueous humour, but the membrane itself will remain unchanged. Being exceedingly tough in consistency it cannot be torn with a needle, and any attempt to draw it.
