Making Artificial Eyes for Blinded Soldiers 



The Artificial Eye Maker First Takes a 

 Tube of Glass, Heats It and Blows It 

 Until a Bubble ot Glass Is Formed at 

 the End. The End of the Bubble Is 

 Then Perforated With a Conical Point 

 As Here Shown. Thus the White of 

 the Artificial Eye Is Formed. The Iris, 

 Appropriately Striated, Is Then 

 Fused to This Bubble 



Blowing a Bubble of Glass. 

 After the Iris Is Made It Is 

 Soldered to the End of the 

 Sclerotic, or the Imitation 

 White of the Eye Which 

 Encloses the Eye Ball. The 

 Whole Is Then Tinted in 

 Exact Similitude to 

 the Natural Eye
