Image Comments:

The india ink used in tattooing the leukoma of this cornea has faded in certain spots. The eye is beginning to shrink - phthisis bulbi following an unfortunate reaction to cataract surgery. The tattooing was done to hide the disfigurement resulting from the white scars on the cornea. Reference: the other tattooing photos in this Atlas.
