Then Dr. Filatov cuts two short slots in the opaque cornea, one on each side of the hidden pupil. Through those slots he slides a thin blade of ivory. This protects the patient's crystalline lens and prevents aqueous humor from escaping when Dr. Filatov cuts out a small disk from the cornea directly over the pupil...
Leukoma is opacity of the eye's cornea, that transparent coating which shields the iris and the pupil and is supported by the aqueous humor. Immediately behind the iris lies the crystalline lens, which focuses light images upon the retina. Leukoma may occur when the cornea is struck by a blow, is spattered with hot fluids or metals, or is diseased by smallpox, tuberculosis, trachoma, gonorrhea, syphilis. Provided that a person with an opaque cornea 1) can distinguish between light and dark and 2) has completely recovered from any contagious disease, Dr. Filatov last week declared that he could...

The sensation was really quite pleasant-no pain and no muscular rigidity in going under." After he received the methylene blue injection "there...
