Shortly after this his right eye was wounded by a knife, causing traumatic cataract, which was extracted by Sir William Wilde, giving the man good sight for twelve years, after which iritis attacked the right eye and produced a false membrane over the pupil so that the man could not work.

It was in this condition that he consulted Williams, fourteen years after the loss of the left eye.

The eye was atrophied, and on examination a piece of stone was seen projecting from it directly between the lids.

The visible portion was 1/4 inch long, and the end in the shrunken eye was evidently longer than the end protruding.

The sclera was incised, and, after fourteen years' duration in the eye, the stone was removed.
Taylor reports the removal of a piece of bone which had remained quiescent in the eye for fourteen years; after the removal of the eye the bone was found adherent to the inner tunics.
