    [Reprintedfrom THE OPHTHALMOSCOPE, June, 1905]. OBSTETRIC INJURIES OF THE CORNEA. BY Ernest Thomson, and Leslie Buchanan, M.A..M.D., M.D., SURGEON, GLASGOW EYE INFIRMARY, SURGEON AND PATHOLOGIST, OPHTHALMIC SURGEON, GLASGOW EYE INFIRMARY. GLASGOW MATERNITY HOSPITAL, It has been the fortune of the writers to meet with a consider- able number of cases of obstetric injury to the eye of the new-born child, in the course of a comparatively short period of observation. In a large proportion of these the cornea has been involved in a peculiar manner which appears to be rare in localities other than Glasgow. That this localization is dependent on the frequency of rickets, with marked pelvic deformity and consequent necessity for forced delivery, has been suggested by us already.'1' The scarcity of reported cases and the negation of their occurrence by obstetricians and ophthalmologists practising in other centres, tends to confirm our opinion. \<rL1n4C
