This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

Modern Ophthalmic Surgery within a small compass, to supply the wants of the busy practitioner, who may have neither time, nor opportunity, to read the innumerable contributions that Ophthalmic surgery and science have received within the last fifteen years. In describing symptoms, we have limited ourselves to those which are essential for the recognition of disease ;in describing operations, c, to those details which are essential for its treatment. At present it matters little to the practitioner whether glaucoma depend on a hypersecretion of the fluids of the eye, or on a rheumatic state of the circulation, or on an obscure affection of the ciliary nerves, c. What he chiefly wants is, how to know glaucoma; and, when he knows it, how to treat it. We have not, however, thought it foreign to our scope to introduce occasionally a fe Avrepresentative cases, which serve to illustrate preceding descriptions.
