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.

Excerpt from Annals of Ophthalmology and Otology, 1894, Vol. 3: A Quarterly Journal of Practical Ophthalmology, Otology, Laryngology and Rhinology In Operating upon children, for soft or congenital cataracts, when I have made the pupil fully dilated by atropia, I make a free incision in the anterior capsule, quite long enough to allow some of the lens substance to protrude into the aqueous. I apply no dressings to the eye for closing it up, I find it much more advan tageous to apply the bandage to the little patient's hands, for one day at least, to prevent them from rubbing the eyes. Atropia is used three times a day to ensure complete dilation of the pupil. The little wrist-band, passing from one arm to the other behind the back, and permitting, as it does, of many movements, does not in any way fret the child. In the meantime, the eye is safe from injury, with child, nurse, and parents happy. When the eyes are bandaged and the child, as usual, restless, the dressings secured to its round head will frequently become disarranged; and a sleepless child, a wornout nurse, and an anxious mother greet the surgeon on the morrow of the Operation. I have had great satisfaction in needling soft cataracts since I abandoned the tying up of the eye Operated upon.

Excerpt from Annals of Ophthalmology and Otology, 1895, Vol. 4: A Quarterly Journal of Practical Ophthalmology, Otology, Neurology, Rhinology and Laryngology Where improvement is found from the use of electricity, does this improvement come from a real electmlysis of the opaque tissue, or from the direct irritation of the cornea caused by the stimulus Of the current directly applied? I am inclined to think the last explanation the true one. I am quite sure there is some electrolytic action, but do not think it has any action in clearing the tissue. The electrolysis is noticeable on surface of clear cornea if the current is too strong. Or if the electrode is allowed to remain too long in one spot. There is then a distinct break in superficial corneal layer. The vision in case III was decidedly worse after using electricity. This might be explained by elec trolytic action of current on superficial layers of cornea which, when it was reformed, might be somewhat hazy. The treatment bv this method seems to be adapted to all varieties of corneal opacity, though it is not equally successful in its results with all. Any more than any other one form of treatment. The method by pressure inunction would seem best adapted to opacities produced by inflammatory deposit, interstitial and superficial keratitis. There is no one method of treatment that is applicable to all cases. The best results in the majority of cases are obtained from the judicious varying of methods. The cornea, in time, it would seem, becomes tolerant to different irritants. In most recent cases it is best to commence with the milder forms of treatment. As the pressure inunctions then yellow oxid of mercury, or combining the pressure inunctions with the oxid first, and then electricity.
