The American encyclopedia and dictionary of ophthalmology Edited by Casey A Wood, assisted by a large staff of collaborators . ation of cataract. Suction operation for the removal of softcataract. This procedure is mentioned by Phazes as the inventionof Antyllus, who flourished about the fourth century A. D. Accord-ing to Albucasis, this method was in use in both Persia and operation was not entirely forgotten in the later centuries,as Guillemeau claimed that the lens was not removed thereby butsimply the aqueous humor. Barbette in the seventeenth centuryridiculed the method. During the subsequent two centuries it fell into complete disuse,until it was revived by Peccholi in 1829. He made a corneal section(after the discission had fully matured the cataract) and through 642 ASPIRATION OF CATARACT the opening introduced a hollow needle by which the soft lens mat-ter in the anterior chamber was drawn off by a pump. The next recorded advocate of the operation was Langier, whoentered the needle through the sclera, perforated the posteriorcapsule and removed the soft lens matter by means of a Teales Suction Operation for the Aspiration of Cataract. A, A, A, points to be introduced into the anterior chamber; B, glasstubing; C, rubber tubing and mouth-piece. The operation was adopted in England in 1863, by Teale, Bow-man, Lawson, and Greenway, and for a time was quite in devised a special canula to which was attached a glass andrubber tube, using the mouth for suction, as seen in the accompany-ing figure. Bowman devised a special syringe with which to make suctionand thereby avoided aspiration by the mouth. (See figure.)
