l8o OPHTHALMOLOGY FOR VETERINARIANS 



Within the eyeball it is usually stationary, though it has 

 been seen to make quick, active movements. 



Inflammation of the internal structures usually follow 

 its entrance into the eye; detachment of the retina and 

 cataract occur, vision is eventually lost, and the globe 

 becomes atrophied. 



Attempts have been made to remove the organism by 

 making an incision in the sclera and grasping it with a 

 small pair of forceps; and, if it is in a position where it 

 can readily be reached, this may be done; but, in the 

 animal, one would assume a great risk in not being able 

 to grasp it, and much damage would be done the globe 

 in making the attempt.
