Page 375 - By the operation which I am about to propose to you, these inconveniences are avoided. It is very simple, and may be performed easily and quickly.

The absence of the sclerotic zone, and the very small amount of local symptoms which it causes, taken with the fact that young infants usually keep their eyes shut, will account for this. In...
