〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is, when the sinew of sight is so flat, weak, and pressed down, that there is not any hollowness remaining in it, because the inside of the skins do touch each other, by rea∣son either of abundance of humors which fall not into the hollowness, but upon the substance of this sinew, or else driness, whereby it is
withered, and gathered together.
If old age do bring this infirmity, it is to be accounted incurable: If the party be young, and you perceive the disease do proceed from a∣bundance and fulness; It is cured by an univer∣sal evacuation, and by such things as cleanse and sharpen the sight. Vide supra, in capite de Gutta serena.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is, when the sinew of sight is utter∣ly broken asunder, and separated from the brain by a stroke or fall, in such sort, that presently upon it doth ensue most desperate blindness, be∣cause the spirit of sight cannot be carried unto the eye.
Concerning the cure, the Chirurgion shall have more care to maintain and preserve the beauty of the eye, then to endeavour the resto∣ring of the sight which is utterly lost. And so much touching the diseases of the eyes: Next follow those of the eares.
