Cataract.

A cataract is an opaque condition
OF the crystalline lens of the eye, that
part through which all the rays of
light entering the pupil must pass to
be focused on the retna of the eye, that
the eyeball. The name comes from the
Greek word meaning a trapdoor or
porticullis, something let down from
above, as the ancients thought Of it as
a veil that dropped down behind the
pupil
When the trouble is in the sub
stance of the lens itself, it is called
lenticular cataract; when it is in its
capsule, it is called capsular cataract
The first indication of trouble that the
patent notices is often slight dim
ness OF vision or a troublesome blur
rings, as if the spectacle glasses need
ed wiping; but on the other hand, there
may be an apparent improvement in
vision, and the person sometimes gets
a second sight" as it were, and is able
early in the course Of the affection TO
lay aside his reading glasses. Some
times there are specks or dark lines
before the eyes, and in certain cases
there is multiple or double vision, es-
pecially when the patient looks at a
small bright point, such as a star or a
distant light
When the cataract is moderately adj
vanced, it can be seen as a whitish
background when you look through the
pupil OF the sufferers eye. The physi-
clan diagnoses it with greater accuracy
by means of the ophthalmoscope and
by examining it through a lens bv
lateral illupination. Oculists distin-
guish various forms of cataract ac-
cording to the part of the lens or its
capsule that is affected; but these dis
tinctiOns are Of little interest except
to the physician
|. From time TO time some remedy is
said to have been found that will cause
a cataract to clear up without an oper-
alton, but none of the medical methods
OF curing it has thus far stood the test
of time. and the treatment therefore is
surgical
The vision in cases of cataract has
been restored in three ways: by couch
ing, or turning the lens over on its
side, so as to get it out of the line of
vision; by discussion or needing
breaking up the substance of the lens
and securing its absorption; and bv
extraction. At the present time ex-
traction is the usual operation when
the sufferer is advanced in years; but
needing may be used to cure so-called
soft cataracts that occur in the Young.
Formerly great stress was laid upon
the Importance of waiting until the
cataract was ripe, or fully developed
before operating; but now manv ocu-
lists removing it earlier, which spares
the patient long period of waiting
with steadily decreasing vision.
