safety. He was rushed 10 Walter
Reed Hospital for treatment by
skilled eye surgeons.
Maj. Meyer Riwchun of the hos
pital took up the story. The eye
specialist explained that the piece
Of shell had penetrated the ciliary
zone Of the officers eye. That is
just beside the crystalline lens,
and injury there is practically
always disastrous. The foreign
body lay in the vitreous fluid back
Of the zone.
First, X-ray photographs were
made of Cooks eye, superimposing
successive shots until the location
OF the fragment could be dia.
grammed on a chart. This had
TO be done with mathematical
precision. From the diagram II
was determined that there was a
leeway Of one millimeter in which
to drill a two-millimeter hole and
still not injure the cihary tissue.
In commenting on the results
obtained by employment of the
magnet, Mai. Riwchun said
