Injury by striking the eye on some object, as in the present case. The chief points of interest are: 1. The mechanism of the injury, and non-rupture of the ocular muscles. 2 . The anaemia of the fundus, presumably due to stretching of the optic nerve and contained artery, and complete recovery of vision after three quiarters of an hour's luxation. 3 . Comparative lack of pain throughout. 4 . Absence of signs in the fundus. 5 . Response of the inflammation of Tenon's capsule to M. and B. 693 and diathermy.
