OPHTHALMIA
This is an incoördination characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva. It is also called purulent conjunctivitis. Medically these cases are supposed to be produced by gonorrhea, although in many of the milder forms the gonococcus is not present. This is evidence that the cause is not the gonococcus but that the germs, when present, are there because of the pathological condition of the tissues.
