We generally perform dis-cission in young animals affected with soft cataract. The result of thisoperation, however, is not always satisfactory, as reabsorption is slowand in many cases requires a second operation. Several months mayalso elapse before the cataract is absorbed. Schlampp advises in suchcases puncturing the cornea, and by this means slowly allowing thefluid of the anterior chamber to escape, leaving the lens displacement of the lens enlarges or ruptures the openingwhich has been made in the capsule.
