Image Comments:

Except for the well-healed central corneal leukoma, the eye appeared to be normal. In the USA, corneal transplantation would have been in order.At the time of the Eye Clinic, there was ( and still is ) a paucity of donated corneas in India. After further evaluation with the pupil fully dilated, consideration would have been given by an Indian eye surgeon to an optical iridectomy. Another Atlas photo will show just such an inferiorly located optical iridectomy.
