Image Comments:

Since the Kurji Holy Family Hospital Eye Clinic attracted patients from far and wide including all of India and the Himalayan kingdoms, there was a daily flow of extreme and exotic eye pathology. In the photo, the young Indian boy has marked megalocornea/megalophthalmos from his primary congenital glaucoma, i.e. hydrophthalmos. In such patients, careful evaluation of the grossly normal appearing eye must be carried out.
