CAP. LXXX. De oculi Atrophia, & Microphthalmo.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is then, when the parts of the eyes consume and waste away, by reason of some evacuation, and over-great exsiccation. It differeth 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is, the consumption of the eye, because therein is only a diminishing of the Apple, and not of the whole eye, because therein is only a diminishing of the Apple, and not of the whole eye; which in Atrophia is smaller and lesser than naturally it should be, there appearing a hollow deepness, it being sunk down within the circle, and the sight darkned and dimmed in such sort, that the things which

they look upon, do seem much greater then they are.

Malum curatu difficile est: Neque enim siccitas in ulla corporis parte facilè euratur; & nisi matu∣rè ei succuratur, causa caecitatis esse solet.

It is cured by those medicaments that humect and moisten (and chiefly the brest milk of a wo∣man) laid therein.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is, the pinking eye, is, when any one hath from his birth so little eyes that they seem scarcely opened, albeit they are not sunk down within the circle, more than they should be; whereunto it is not expedient to ap∣ply any medicine, sith nature cannot be amen∣ded.
