Diagnosis: ragged corneal laceration: end result

Image Comments:

This eye sustained a ragged, perforating laceration of the cornea with lens injury when the patient fell through a window. The laceration was repaired. A traumatic cataract subsequently resulted. A cataract extraction with a complete iridectomy a 12 o'clock gave the final result seen in the photo. ( Photo taken 1979. )
