Fig. 28: Specimen No. 130.—The iris shows a deep jagged tear. There are two scars made at the operation, one over the posterior part of the ciliary body, the other near the equator of the eye. Numerous white dots are seen on the choroid and iris.
Fig. 29: Specimen No. 148.—There is a localised patch of inflammation within the globe behind the equator; in this was found a foreign body, probably the tip of the copper probe used in the operation. It lay in the vitreous cavity within the retina, which is totally detached.
Fig. 30: Specimen No. 72.—The operation scar can be seen on the temporal side of the sclera behind the equator. The choroid and retina are extensively detached on this side, having evidently been pushed before the instrument before it succeeded in penetrating them. To the nasal side in the anterior part of the vitreous chamber lies a cone of exudate, the apex of which (posteriorly) is adherent to the retina, and has raised it from its bed in the form of a shallow bleb. The cornea fell in during preparation; it was ulcerated. The anterior chamber was full of pus and blood. What is left of the lens lies buried at the base of the cone of exudate already referred to, being bound thereby to the ciliary body and to the back of the iris.
Fig. 31: Specimen No. 171.—A whole-section of the eye shown in Fig. [19]. For details of description refer to that figure.
Fig. 32: Specimen No. 171.—Low-power magnification of a portion of the specimen shown in the previous figure. To the right is seen the inflamed and matted iris; beneath this lies a mass of inflammatory exudate in which the curled remains of the lens capsule can be traced. In this mass of exudate the lens nucleus lies imbedded, its margins being surrounded by large phagocytes.
Fig. 33: Specimen No. 171.—High-power magnification of portion of the previous specimen, showing some of the phagocytes much enlarged. Notice their processes invading the lens substance.
