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.

Repaired perforating corneal injury with iridectomy

The perforating injury was well-repaired many years prior to this 1965 photo. The lower lid was only a few days postop for spastic entropion. A Ziegler cautery operation was performed to correct the entropion.
