  • Burning of eyes, and bloodshot appearance of them, all the forenoon (eleventh day), 33.
  • His father stated that "his eyes were working," or as his mother said, "as if the nerves were upon him," 13. [160.]
  • (Eyes unusually free from black spots, in the morning), (second day), 27.
  • Eyes very dull and heavy, at 2 P.M. (fifth day), 71b.
  • Eyes heavy, 13.
  • Eyes sleepy-like, 12.
  • Great pressure on the eyes, with muscæ volitantes. The medicine affects the sight very much, producing these spectres constantly flitting before the sight; long snakes or worms, both dark and light; also waves before the eyes, giving objects a tremulous motion, as if it gave the same quality of involuntary motion to the optic nerve that it does to the motor nerves, and made the sight movable; also a slight sensation of double sight, as if the images of objects would be multiplied (seventeenth day), 33.
  • Continued drawing twisting sensation in the eyes (thirteenth day), 71d.*
  • Sharp shooting and drawing sensation in the right eye , at 1 P.M. (fifth day), 71b.
  • Drawing twisting sensation in the eyes, at 3 P.M . (fifth day), 71b.
  • Since 11 A.M., have had great drawing twisting sensation in the eyes, at 8 P.M. (tenth day), 71b.
  • Drawing sensation in the eyes , at 6 P.M. (third day), 71a.* [170.]
  • Eyes are sore, and give pain when moved from side to side , at 6 P.M. (second day), 45a.*
  • Eyes smart; lids feel sore (third day), 61.*
  • (Was asked by a physician if I do not suffer from diplopia, as the musc. int. seems not to do its work rightly, and the axis of the eyes differs in each; but my eyes only felt weak, with lachrymation, especially of left eye, from which I suffer when having my usual headaches ), (sixth day), 38.
  • Slight aching pain in left eye (after five hours), 33.
  • Felt film over the eyes, and blur; objects mixed (after ten minutes); after which dull pain over the eyes, and between the eyes , lasting for one hour; sometimes have had similar feelings, but not often, 56.*
  • Pain in the left eye, with muscæ volitantes, 33.
  • Eyes feel weak (third day), 54.*
  • Eyes sensitive (eighth day), and feel weak (ninth day), 50.
  • If a very weak solution is used, so that the accommodation is not markedly affected, we find that on attempting to use binocular vision, as in reading, a disturbance exists, consisting of pain, blurring, and straining, so that one eye must be closed, which is relieved by a weak concave glass; it seems as though the ordinary will, impulse, caused too great an action of the accommodation, 10.
  • Had the symptoms in the eye all the morning, with much burning of the balls (sixth day), 33.
  • Orbit. [180.]
  • Aching pain in posterior part of orbit, extending back into the brain; worse on reading (aches so cannot read), causing nausea (second day), 55.
  • Lids and Lachrymal Apparatus.
  • Twitching of upper eyelids, at 4 P.M. (fifth day); of left most, which is very annoying (seventh and ninth days), 48.
  • When the accommodation becomes affected by Physostigma, twitchings (spasmodic) of the lids ensue, 19.
  • Sensation of contraction of the eyelids, with difficulty of opening them, and a suffusion of tears when wide open (after fifteen minutes); it required and effort to keep the left eyelid open; this lasted till night, with pain in right side of upper jaw (second day), 27.
  • Cannot bear to raise the lids (sixth day), 67.
  • If Physostigma is applied to the lids it produces immobility of them, 6.
  • Eyelids feel heavy (second and fourth days), 54.
  • Lids, which are usually heavy, were less heavy, and can look more steadily at an object; but lids grow heavier again later, 65.
  • At night, intense itching of the edges of the eyelids and inner canthus of the right eye (sixth day), 43.
  • Eyes suffused with tears (after seven hours and a half, second day), 62.
  • Ball. [190.]
  • Pain in the eyeballs (third day), 41.*
  • Severe pains in the right eyeball, darting from within outward; relief from pressing on the eyes; the pain continued at intervals, from 6 1/2 to 10 P.M., when it seemed to shift to the supraorbital ridge, and continued till about 12 (after eleven hours and a half). As soon as I got up, at 7 A.M., experienced severe darting pains in both eyes; pain darting outwards; experienced no pain after breakfast; as soon as I sat down to study, at 7 P.M., had the same darting pains in the left eye and superciliary ridge; same character of pain, and relieved by pressure and moving about; pain gradually diminished until 11 P.M. (second day), 59.
  • Pain, with sharp stitches, in the ball of right eye, and in the frontal bone, with a distinct pain running obliquely into the temporal bone, in the evening (first day). Pain deep, in over top of ball; ran up from inner canthus to the right frontal eminence, then down obliquely outward into temple; dull miserable pain; same in eye and forehead returned, not as severe, but more general over the forehead, relieved by motion out of doors (second day), 57.
  • A drawn, twisted sensation in the eyeballs, at 8 P.M. (second day); especially in the right, at 7 P.M. (third day), 71c.
  • Towards the end of the myotic action there is experienced a painful tension, partly in the equator of the ball, partly in the ciliary region, 10.
  • Great fulness of the eyeballs, as if they were too large, with a sensation as if the lids were too tight on closing them (first night), 43.
  • Swollen sensation, with burning in the eyeballs (third day), 43.
  • Nervous achings in the whole ball, which extended along the supraorbital nerves, and over half the head, 10.
  • The circulation in the fundus of the globe is not affected, 10.
  • Pupil.
  • Decided dilatation of the pupil, very soon, 69a. [200.]
  • Pupils dilated (third day), 50.
  • After the myosis had passed off there is usually mydriasis of a slight degree for several days, especially during the morning hours; this seems to depend upon a kind of fatigue of the sphincter, which passes off during the day under the reflex stimulus of light, 10.
  • A very slight dilatation of the pupil was perceived, 69.
  • The myotic effects of the extract began to be noticed after fifteen to thirty minutes; the maximum contraction was obtained in from thirty to forty minutes; the myosis continued stationary from twenty minutes to three hours; the action of the drug was limited to the eye to which it was applied, 70.
  • On carefully watching the progress of the myosis (contraction of the pupil), the iris is seen to contract convulsively with little jerks or twitches; they are very small and rapid jerks, and would easily escape observation. While the iris was under the influence of Physostigma in all stages it was sensitive to light, that is, it would contract still more from a sudden strong light, even when the myosis had reached a high grade; this seems to show that the sensibility of the retina remains unaffected. The myosis lasts from two to four days, 10.
  • Pupils contracted (fourth, fifth, and sixth days); very much contracted (eighth day), 46.
  • Pupil very much contracted (after one hour), 69b.
  • Pupils contracted (second day), 42 ; (second morning), 47 ; (fourth and eighth days), 48.
  • In about two-thirds of the cases the pupils were contracted, and there was double vision, 14.
  • Not only was the pupil of the healthy eye rapidly contracted, but even the paralyzed pupil, which, before the application, measured three and a half lines, was contracted to two-thirds of a line (the size of a pin's head), within half an hour after the instillation of the extract. The maximum of contraction of the pupil was the same in each eye, but the left regained its original size sooner; it also always remained active under the influence of light, whereas the right was quite immovable. The sight of the right eye also rapidly improved, for within a quarter of an hour of the application she could read with it the very finest print, and this whilst its pupil was two and one-third lines in diameter. The effect upon the ciliary muscle was more marked in the left than in the right eye, for in the former the near point was approximated to three inches, the far point to five and a half inches; in the right eye the near point was never brought closer than eight inches, nor the far point nearer than eleven inches. Stronger concave glasses were consequently required for distant objects by the left than by the right eye. The effect upon the accommodation also ceased much sooner in the right than in the left eye, for in the former the myopia had disappeared five hours after the application, whereas six days afterwards the sight of the left eye for distant objects was still improved by a concave glass of thirty-six inches focus, 8a. [210.]
  • In a woman aged twenty-four, the sight of the right eye was so far impaired that she could only distinguish light from darkness, that pupil being very sluggish under the action of light, and much larger than its fellow. I applied a drop of the weakest solution between the lids of the right eye; after half an hour the pupil had become so contracted that it was only about half the size of the other one. In an experiment on another woman, the pupil of the eye to which the solution was applied was contracted one-half after fifteen minutes. Third experiment: a drop of the weak solution was applied between lids of right eye; no visible change in the left pupil was perceptible (after eight minutes); it had become slightly contracted (after twenty-three minutes); contracted to half the size of its fellow (after twenty-six minutes); it was less than half as large as its fellow (after twenty-eight minutes); this pupil was only about equal to a pin's head in size, the pupil of the other eye having become larger than it had previously been (after thirty-three minutes).
  • Fourth experiment; I applied a drop of the weakest solution between the lids of the right eye; no visible change (after eight minutes); pupil contracted to the side of a pin's head (after twenty minutes); very much contracted, but not to so great a degree as before (after nine hours); still contracted, but almost as large as the other pupil (after twenty-one hours). The woman first mentioned had the stronger aqueous solution applied between the lids of the right eye; the pupil was reduced to the size of a pin's head (after twenty-seven minutes). A woman of middle age had applied to left eye a drop of the weaker solution, now some days old; no change (after sixteen minutes); a drop of the stronger solution more recently made was applied; in four minutes more the pupil was slightly contracted, and in twenty minutes still later very much so, 9.
  • Pupils slightly contracted, 12.
  • Accommodation.
  • Decidedly tight feeling, referable pretty accurately to the ciliary region of that eye, as if something were creeping about in it (after five minutes); this continued with occasional rather sharp pains in the ciliary region (after ten minutes); an attempt to read with both eyes instantly increased this pain, and the type was confused, as if by a disturbance of the power of accommodation. The near point of the left eye (Jæger, No. 1) was at six inches and three-quarters, that of the right eye being fifteen inches, thus indicating a spasm of accommodation in the left, and a diminished power in the right eye; with this change, the effort to look at the type or optometer with either eye, or with both, much aggravated the sense of distress in the left eye; the type looked smaller with the right eye than with the left; the far point seemed the same as before in both eyes (after thirteen minutes). I could see Jæger 17 at fifteen feet, but with the left eye with a remarkable oscillation in the distinctness, so that the type came and went, at one instant quite clear, then indistinct, which coincided with the sensations present in the ciliary region, as if the ciliary muscle was undergoing irregular contractions; the left pupil was now observed to have become rather suddenly contracted to the size of a large pin's head (after twenty minutes); and to avoid repetition, I may state that this contraction continued to the full amount for eighteen hours, then gradually relaxed during about three days, after which it was like its fellow; as it gradually dilated, it also resumed gradually its mobility under light, whether falling on its own or the opposite retina, or on both; with the sudden contraction of the pupil came also a sudden twilight gloom, as of an eclipse of the sun, much more marked when the left eye only was open; but this gloom soon lessened, owing, probably, to the retina, by continuance, becoming accustomed to the quantity of light admitted, and on the next day it was hardly noticeable. The pupil being extremely small, we noted astigmatism; the vertical bars of a window were seen clear and sharp at from six to ten feet, the horizontal bars within the same range having thin edges, slightly hazy, but rendered clear by a concave cylindrical glass of fourteen inches focus suitably placed; distant objects seen by the left eye through a concave spherical glass of fifty inches focus were very decidedly diminished in size (after twenty-five minutes). The near point by No. 1 Jæger was for the left eye at six and a half inches, for the right eye only at ten and a half inches, not nearer or farther off, and even at this distance indistinct, whereas with the left eye the letters were crisp and clear; to this better sight of the left eye two causes contributed the larger size of the retinal image, from the greater nearness of the type to the eye, and the smallness of the pupillary aperture; with the left eye the near point for vertical lines was at eight and a half inches, for horizontal lines at six and a half inches; with the right eye the near point for vertical lines was at eleven and a half inches, for horizontal lines at seven and a half inches (after thirty hours). The strained feeling of the eye was less after half an hour, but did not quite cease until the next morning; the attempt to read continued painful all the evening and even next day both eyes were somewhat uneasy in sustained vision of near objects with both eyes or either of them. Both eyes alike as to accommodation, and in both eye near point for vertical and horizontal lines was one inch nearer the eye than natural, viz., for horizontal lines near point seven inches, vertical lines near point nine inches; and at twenty-four feet each eye could read No. 18 of Jæger, only the letters were more sharply defined with the left, and looked rather smaller. By way of comparison I accurately examined the accommodation for horizontal and vertical lines with each eye, and found both eyes alike; the near point for horizontal lines being nine inches, for vertical lines ten inches for each, one inch more remote from the eye than after eighteen hours from the instillation of the solution of the bean (tenth day), 8.
  • The action on accommodation consists in the approximation of the far point (myopia), and also of the near point; this contraction does not usually progress steadily, but by spasms or jerks (just as the pupil contracts); the far point is approximated sooner than the near point, 10.
  • Daturin paralyzes accommodation and dilates the pupil like Atropine, but Physostigma introduced after Daturin restores the accommodation and produces strong myopia, while the pupil is still widely dilated, 19.
  • The accommodation recovers before the pupil, 109.
  • The phenomena of the accommodation lasts much shorter than does the myosis. The approximation of the near point lasts longer than that of the far point, 10.
  • Vision.
  • Can see farther than usual (is naturally myopic), (second day), 42.
  • Double vision, 15.
  • Vision 1/2, with the use of a positive cylindrical glass 1/24 (hyperopic astigmatismus); range of accommodation 1/5, 5 (before the experiment); myopia 1/30; near point remains at 5 1/2 inches, though accommodation is reduced 1/6, 3/4 (after nine minutes). From this time the myopia gradually increases, and soon a slight nearing of the near point begins, with no trace of pain. Myopia 1/10; near point 5 inches; accommodation only 1/10; visual acuteness diminished to 2/3 (after twenty-two minutes). [This diminution of visual acuteness in this case is not dependent on contracted pupil, as had been supposed in other cases. -T. F. A.]
  • Myopia 1/7, 1/2; near point, 4 3/4 inches; accommodation only 1/13; vision very indistinct at a distance, on account of large dispersion circles (after thirty-two minutes). Accommodation same; myopia begins to diminish (after forty-four minutes). Accommodation 1/9; myopia 1/10; near point the same (after forty-seven minutes). Accommodation 1/7; myopia 1/16; near point a little farther (after fifty-two minutes). Accommodation 1/6; myopia 1/24; near point 5 inches (after one hour and fourteen minutes). Accommodation 1/5, 1/2 (nearly normal); near point 5 inches; myopia only 1/50 (after one hour and fifty-two minutes). The action on the ciliary muscle seems entirely independent of the presence of the iris. Slight biting in the conjunctiva, which passed off in a minute, 11. [220.]
  • When Atropine was first dropped into the eye (using a solution 4 grains to the ounce), in an hour and a half the nearest point was, left eight inches, right twelve inches; then Physostigma was used, and in half an hour could only see distinctly between six and a half and nine inches; after this Physostigma gradually predominated, and near vision became distinct, 19.
  • Visual acuteness often sinks to one-half the normal under its use, 10.
  • Objects distant more than one foot seem dim and indistinct; all objects seemed nearer and larger; pupils unchanged (after ten minutes); pupils contracted to one line in diameter (normal size, two lines); objects distant more than nine inches are dim; all objects seem one-half larger and nearer (after twenty minutes); pupil two-thirds of a line (the other pupil two and a half lines diameter); no distinct vision beyond eight inches (after thirty minutes); pupil one-half line (other pupil normal); on reading, heaviness and fatigue of the eye; dull aching and heaviness on using the eyes; eyes feel strained (after seventy minutes). In a subsequent experiment, concave eight enabled him to see at a distance, but not nearer than five inches, 19.
  • One observer could bring his vision with perfect clearness to the normal, but only with very great and painful exertion, 10.
  • Dimness of vision (after sixty minutes), 2.

  • Letters seem in constant motion, and can only be seen at a large visual angle, 10.
  • Bright daylight seems like twilight, the result of the largely contracted field of vision, 10.
  • Vision seemed hazy or misty, while walking; better at once by keeping quiet (fourth day), 54. [230.]
  • Bright marks when looking at an object; dark-yellowish spots on book when reading, covering one or two of the letters, 65.

  • The symptoms continued without abatement for about sixteen hours, notwithstanding several remedies had been tried; at length the fact that the pain seemed to be produced by hard pressure on the lower end of the sternum, led to the selection of

Arnica 30 , which afforded prompt and decided relief, 34a.

  • The chief action of this medicine seems to me to be in the nerves; all the other symptoms have been entirely accessory and secondary; and it seems to me, so far as I can judge, to have a very curious double action on the nervous system; the nerves in front of the body (which I believe are the ?? voluntary nerves, or ?? nerves of motion), it appears to excite to involuntary motion, causing tremblings, and going up and down in wavelike motion, all down through; but the nerves in the back of the body (the ?? passive nerves or nerves of ?? sensation), it seems to paralyze and numb, and during this numbing process it causes a good deal of pain, very similar to a pain in a tooth when its nerve is dying or being killed, 33.
  • The medicine seemed to act more on the left side than on the other, 33.
  • I think the medicine hinders voluntary motion as well as causes involuntary motion, 33.

  • Felt sleepiness while riding, for two mornings; after dinner he felt great drowsiness, which was very difficult to shake off; his desire for sleep was uncontrollable; he would fall asleep so quickly that he was surprised on waking up that he had slept; a few hours of hard exercise would remove the drowsiness; he slept just as well at night as if he had not slept in the afternoon, 26b.
