He states that, on the day following the operation, he saw better by the right eye than he had seen at any one time during the last seven years; the dazzling con- tinued during four days; and, as it subsided, every object, viewed by the right eye, became more and more distinct: also, that, on the fourth day of his visit in the country, the bright yellow spot before the left eye suddenly disappeared, and, with it, its red flashes; but, that after he had returned to London, he observed, on the fifth day (yesterday), a slight return of the bright spot and flashes, which lasted for about one minute, and then left him again quite free. To-day he has seen them at times very faintly, and at a distance so remote that they have not interfered with his sight. With the right eye, unaided by the left, can read a passage in a Bible of rather small type. 12th.—Presented this patient, at St. Thomas’s Hospital, to Mr. J. H. Green and Mr. Bransby Cooper, for their examination; he told the time of one of their watches by the right eye, the left being closed.
