Book Description

Excerpt from Maryland Medical Journal, Baltimore, Vol. 1: May, 1877 In scleral injections, recognized by the uniform pink hue given to the white of the eye by the injection of the numerous small vessels which so freely ramify in this sclerotic coat, so constantly mistaken for the redness of conjunctivitis, the instillation of Nitrate of Silver is not to be thought of. This peculiar eye dis ease, usually engrafted upon a rheumatic diathesis, needs general remedies for its control. The local remedies required should be ofa soothing nature, and as the iris is often involved in an exten sion of the pathological lesion, a solution of atropia becomes peculiarly applicable.
