Excerpt from Diseases of the Eye: A Handbook of Ophthalmic Practice for Students and Practitioners
In the Eighth Edition of this text-book its chapters have been revised thoroughly in an endeavor to include due reference to the important ophthalmic observations and therapeutic measures which have been made and recommended during the last three years.
A new feature in this edition is the introduction of the metric equivalents of the doses of the remedies and the strengths of the solutions previously recorded only according to the old system. Reference to the following subjects appears for the first time: Clifford Walker"s Method of Testing the Visual Field; Squirrel Plague Conjunctivitis; Swimming Bath Conjunctivitis; Anaphylactic Keratitis; Family Cerebral Degeneration with Macular Changes; the Ocular Symptoms of Disease of the Pituitary Body; Sclerectomy with a Punch (Holth"s Operation); Preliminary Capsulotomy (Homer Smith"s Operation); Iridotasis (Borthcn"s Method); Thread Drainage of the Anterior Chamber (Zorab"s Operation); Extraction of Cataract in the Capsule after Subluxation of the Lens with Capsule Forceps (Stanculeanu"s Method, Arnold Knapp"s Method); Capsulomuscular Advancement with Partial Resection (Ziegler"s Method); Tenotomy of the Inferior Oblique; Window Resection of the Nasal Duct (West"s Operation).
A portion of the chapter on Iritis has been rewritten, especially as it relates to Autotoxemie Iritis and Iritis Secondary to Mucous Membrane Infections. Lieut. Col. Elliot has very kindly written the description of Corneoscleral Trephining, ordinarily known as Elliot"s Operation. To Dr. William M. Sweet the author is indebted for a description of his revised method of localizing foreign bodies within the eye by means of the x-rays. As in previous editions, the section devoted to Skiascopy, or the Shadow Test, is from the pen of Dr. Edward Jackson. A number of new illustrations have been inserted. The entire work has been reset and appears in a new and greatly improved form.
The author trusts that these additions and alterations will prove to be satisfactory, and he desires again to express his high appreciation of the cordial reception which has thus far been accorded to his work.
