OCCLUDED PUPIL.
This has been frequently found in horses as a sequel of iritis, and permanent adhesion of the contracted iris to the front of the lens capsule. It is in short, a posterior synechia with closure of the pupil. The lens and its capsule are usually opaque so that there would be no gain in detachment of the iris. If, however, there is reason to conclude that any part of the lens is still transparent, the performance of iridectomy over this portion, would produce a new aperture for the entrance of light.
