Volume 12 — ABSTRACTS FROM CURRENT LITERATURE. (continued 2)

July 28. R. V. 5 6 (i letter); tension still slightly minus. Ecchymosis present in ocular conjunctiva, but the blood has disappeared from the anterior chamber. Pupil not so wide as that of the left eye, although atropine is being used to both. Faint cloudiness lower third of the cornea, made up of almost transparent dots, as may be seen with a +20 lens in certain positions of the eye. Fundus changes have disappeared; faint radiating lines, however, may still be seen around the yellow-spot region.

July 29. R. V. 5 6 (ii letter) T—I. Pupil now as large as that of the other eye. Yellow-spot region still surrounded by a wide band of fine, closely set, radiating gray lines. It may be noted that the corresponding region of the left (unaffected) eye is encircled by an ordinary oval reflex.

August 1. R. V. 5 6; (Tn.). A small ecchymosis still present in the ocular conjunctiva on the outer side of the cornea. No blood in anterior chamber; no corneal cloudiness. Radiating appearance still present around yellow spot of fundus.

August 9. R. V. 5 9, L. V. 5 9; (Tn.).

August 12. Vision unaltered. Radiating lines still present around yellow-spot region of affected eye.

September 5. The right pupil rather larger than its fellow, but no break in the continuity of the edge of the iris can be discovered to account for this. The action, both to light and to accommodation, of the pupils is equal. The radiating lines formerly present around the yellow spot of the right eye have been replaced by an ordinary oval reflex, like that present in the other fundus. Tn.; R. V. 5 6 (i letter), L. V. 5 6 (i letter); No. 1 Jaeger read easily.

September 7. Under atropine. R. V. = 5 18 + 1.5 D. Sph. = 5 5. L. V. = 5 12 + 1.0 D. Sph. = 5 5.
