Seite 329 - It is now about fifteen months since a similar affection occurred again to myself, without my being able to assign any cause whatever, or to connect it with any previous or subsequent indisposition. The blindness was first observed, as before, in looking at the face of a person I met, whose left eye was to my sight obliterated. My blindness was in this instance the reverse of the former, being to my right (instead of the left) of the spot to which my eyes were directed; so that I have no reason to...
Seite 329 - In this instance the loss of sight was toward my left, and was the same whether I looked with the right eye or the left. This blindness was not so complete as to amount to absolute blackness, but was a shaded darkness without definite outline. The complaint was of short duration, and in about a quarter of an hour might be said to be wholly gone, having receded with a gradual motion from the centre of vision obliquely upwards toward the left.
Seite 20 - ... is of more ready and convenient application. In man, the red colour which the bottom of the eye presents, varies in tint ; being brighter in fair, more of a yellowish-brown in dark individuals. The retinal vessels are seen branching on the uniform red field formed by the more vascular choroid. At the entrance of the optic nerve, which appears whitish-yellow and well denned, the retinal vessels are seen emerging.
Seite 301 - But we know that this is not the case. We know that we can see objects perfectly distinctly at different distances, within certain limits.
Seite 392 - The eyelid is set free by incisions made in such a way, that when the eyelid is brought back into its natural position, the gap which is left may be closed by bringing its edges together by suture, and thus obtaining immediate union. Unlike the Celsian operation, the narrower the cicatrice the more secure the result. The flap of skin embraced by the incisions is not separated from the subjacent parts; but advantage being taken of the looseness of the subcutaneous cellular tissue, the flap is pressed...
Seite 351 - What would be the visual effect of simultaneously presenting to each eye, instead of the object itself, its projection on a plane surface as it appears to that eye?
Seite 329 - SON; the commencement of the name being wholly obliterated to my view. In this instance the loss of sight was toward my left, and was the same whether I looked with the right eye or the left. This blindness was not so complete as to amount to absolute blackness, but was a shaded darkness without definite outline. The complaint was of short duration, and in about a quarter of an hour...
Seite 20 - The retinal vessels are seen branching on the uniform red field formed by the more vascular choroid. At the entrance of the optic nerve, which appears whitish-yellow and well defined, the retinal vessels are seen emerging. The retina in the situation of the yellow spot is little or not at all vascular, and sometimes presents a greenishgray aspect. A streak of pigment deposit may be seen at some part or all round the border of toe optic papilla.
Seite 8 - ... her lap, its head may be received on the towel, and between the knees of the surgeon, and thus held steadily. The nurse now confines the arms and hands of the child, whilst the surgeon, having dried the eyelids with a soft linen cloth, proceeds to separate them by applying the point of the forefinger of one hand to the border of the upper eyelid, and the point of the thumb of the other hand to the border of the lower; and then sliding them against the eyeball, but without pressing on it, towards...
Seite 29 - For the examination of the eyes in children, especially when affected with intolerance of light and blepharopasmus, considerable management is required, and even some degree of gentle force. The surgeon is to seat himself on a chair with a towel, folded long-ways, laid across his knees. On another chair, on the surgeon's left hand, and a little in front of him, the nurse, with the child, sits in such a way that when she lays the child across her lap, its head may be received on the towel, and between...
