Image Comments:

The patient had a perforating injury to his cornea. This injury was accompanied by an adherent leukoma and a secondary cataract. The cataract was later needled. The point of entrance of the discission knife can be seen as a scar at the limbus at 6 o'clock. An aftercataract occupies part of the pupil.
