EyeRounds Online Atlas of Ophthalmology

*Dr. Caccamise has very generously shared his images of patients taken while operating during the "eye season" in rural India as well as those from his private practice during the 1960's and 1970's. Many of his images are significant for their historical perspective and for techniques and conditions seen in settings in undeveloped areas.

Staphyloma: huge anterior scleral staphyloma
Notice that the staphyloma does not involve the scarred cornea of the left eye. The huge staphyloma involves the anterior sclera. It is extremely difficult clinicallt to distinguish between a ciliary staphyloma and an intercalary staphyloma. Frequently, only pathologic study will lead to the absolutely correct diagnosis.
