Eye injuries and their treatment . he figure represents the eye of a woman, forty-eight years of age, whohad for two years suffered from progressive corneal ulceration. The globewas enucleated on account of increased tension and intense pain. Theanterior chamber is deep and irregular in outline, with the thinnest partof the cornea at the apex of the staphyloma. The structure of the corneaproper is, in a low-power view, much obscured at this part, as it consistschiefly of densely packed fibres of cicatricial tissue; but the epitheliumitself is not much altered. The thicker parts of the cornea show a morefibrous structure than is natural : the presence of numerous darkly-stainedcorpuscles indicates that the inflammation has not entirely passed iris is bound down to the posterior surface of the cornea by in-flammatory exudation, and pigment has been deposited over the wholesurface of the cornea. The endothelium of Descemets membrane isobscured by the pigmentary deposit, and the ciliary body is atrophic. PLATE ^/I.
