Annals Of Ophthalmology And Otology

Excerpt from Annals of Ophthalmology and Otology, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Journal of Practical Ophthalmology, Otology, Laryngology, and Rhinology There is no one method of operation for the extraction of cataract suitable for all cases. Good judgment in selecting the method to be adopted is as necessary as the dexterity in making the operation. The choice of operation must depend upon the character of the cataract, and condition of the eye in all its bearings, which can only be deter mined by a careful examination. I have never been able to make a great series of operations by one method in which everything turned out just as was wanted and expected. My experience which has been a long, varied and successful one, almost forces me to doubt many of the long listed favorable reports of the hundreds of cases made success ively and successfully by one method without change or mishap before or after the delivery of the lens. For cosmetic purposes the extraction without iridectomy is no doubt the par excellence of operations, but it is utterly impossible to do so in every case; and as to acuity of vision obtained, I have found it no better than when iridectomy is made.
