〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, is when the Pupilla is enlarged (above, and besides the ordinary course of nature) toward the Iris, or parti-coloured cir∣cle of the eye, whereby the sight is either much empaired, or utterly lost.
They which are troubled with this disease, which some call 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, do think every thing which they see to be greater than it is; which error cometh by the shattering of the spirits, at the largeness of the hole in the Apple of the eye. Sometimes it is not only enlarged and stretched abroad, but it seemeth to be removed from the middest of the eye, and to have chan∣ged his place, which (in Arnoldus) is called, Pupil∣lae è loco remotio.
If the dilatation of the Pupilla happens through siccity or driness, extending the Uvea, (like as we see in skins or Hides that are perfora∣ted) it is not to be cured without some difficul∣ty: But if it arise from humidity or moisture, the cure is much more easie: Quae à percussione ori∣tur incurabilis est, si uvea sit lacerata. Si post vehementem capitis dolorem, magna sequatur pu∣pillae usque ad iridem dilatatio, exigua sanationis spes est, ob immodicam materiae copiam.
The cure is varied according to the variety of the cause; if this malady proceed from driness, the best remedy is Goats milk, wherewith you may wash and drench the eye often; if from moi∣sture, then this following Collyrium may safely be used: ℞ Rosarum rubr. siccarum, ℈ ii. croci, spicae-nardi, corticis thuris, ana, ℈ ss. tutiae prae∣paratae, spodii, acaciae, ana, ℈ i. Bring them into a pouder, and put them in a thin linnen cloth, and tie it; then hang it in three ounces of Rose-wa∣ter,
and wash the eyes often with the water, drop∣ping into them, squeezing the cloth as often as you use the water. If it comes from wind (after universal evacuations, which are not to be neg∣lected in oculorum morborum curatione) you may foment the eyes with the decoction of Fennel, Rue, Dill, red Roses, and Myrtles, made in Rose-water, with the fourth part of white Wine. If it come with a stroak, and there be no inflam∣mation, you may apply at the first a Cataplasm, ex farina fabarum, foliis plantaginis, & rosis ru∣bris, cum aqua rosarum paratum: after that, you may often drop therein the blood of a Pigeon, which is a most excellent remedy in all wounds and contusions of the eyes. Si vero adsit inflam∣matio, instar opthalmiae curanda est.
