He had a helpmate in his wife, who was also something of a surgeon, and she is credited with having first made use of the magnet in removing particles of metal from the eye. Hildanes tells of a certain man who had been injured by a small piece of steel in the cornea, which resisted all his efforts to remove it.
These are attached at one extremity to the immovable bones of the orbit, while at the other extremity they are inserted into the sclerotic coat, four of them near its junction with the cornea, by broad, thin tendons, which give to the white of the eye its pearly appearance.
Of what parts are the outer, middle, and inner coats of the eyeball made up? What portions of the eyeball reflect light? What absorb light? What transmit light? What refract light? Show how the iris, the crystalline lens, the retina, the ciliary muscle, and the cornea aid in seeing. Trace a wave of light from a visible object to the retina.
Very commonly they have undergone a change of figure, most frequently a flattening which reduces them to scales, as in the epidermis and the epithelium. B. Simple, translucent, homogeneous solid, such as is found at the back of the cornea, or forming the intercellular substance of cartilage. C. The white fibrous element, consisting of very delicate, tenacious threads.
It is a defect in the focus, dependent upon the form of the eyes, and exists in childhood. The axis of the eyeball is too short, and the focus falls beyond the retina, which is too near the cornea. In childhood this strain may pass unnoticed, but, sooner or later it manifests itself by a sense of fatigue, dizziness, and a blurred and indistinct vision.
The eye was not lost, and opacity of the lower part of the cornea alone resulted. Cold water and purging constituted the treatment. It is said a that an old soldier of one of Napoleon's armies had a musket-ball removed from his left orbit after twenty-four years' lodgment.
It enables him to see with the mind's eye through the opaque tissues down to the bone on which they lie, as if the skin were transparent as the cornea, and the organs it covers translucent as the gelatinous pulp of a medusa. It is curious that the Japanese should have anticipated Europe in a kind of rude regional anatomy.
Roll up a piece of blackened paper in the form of a tube, black surface innermost, and place the eye in it with the cornea directed forward. Look at an object e.g., a candle-flame and observe the inverted image of the flame shining through the retina and choroid, and notice how the image moves when the candle is moved. Experiment 175.
The commonest evidence of some form of consciousness persisting is probably to be seen in blinking when the eye is threatened or the sclera or cornea actually touched. A very large number of patients, when otherwise quite inactive, showed considerable response in their muscular resistiveness, the phenomena of which will be discussed shortly.
The conjunctival flap thus formed is turned back over the cornea, and the fragment of sclera that is left attached to the cornea is removed by means of a fine pair of delicate curved scissors. Following this an iridectomy is performed. The conjunctival flap is now replaced and a bandage applied.
