Image Comments:
This eye demonstrates the results of longstanding intraocular pathology, e.g. chronic uveitis and retinal detachment. Careful inspection of the photo reveals: hypermature cataracta complicata; posterior synechiae; extensive neovascularization of the iris and of the pupillary area; and the pathognomonic sign of atrophy of the eye - the scleral indentation at 12:30 o'clock.
