*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.

Papillomatous anomaly of bulbar conjunctiva near plica semilunaris

A review of many 35mm Kodachrome eye slides dating back to 1951 reveals a great variation in the anatomy of the caruncle, the plica semilunaris, and the adjacent bulbar conjunctiva. In this photo there is a papillomatous formation in the bulbar conjunctiva not far from a normal appearing plica semilunaris.
