Diagnosis: keratomalacia with lens tamponade

Image Comments:

In this photo the lens has come forward to act as a tamponade for the corneal melt-down produced by keratomalacia. The scleral indentation at 12:30 indicates that the eye is becoming phthisical. The lens tamponade is not to be confused with corneal tattooing - refer to tattoo photos in this Atlas.
