From this catalogue it appears, that the operation 
has been performed on nineteen eyes ; and, from the 
moft exadt information, which I have been able to 
procure, the date of the fuccefs ftands thus : 
A C, A -D, A F, A G, A L t all which had the 
operation performed on both eyes, have every one of 
them recovered the fight of both eyes, to as great a 
perfection as can be fuppofed, without the help of the 
eryftalline humour ; that is, they can read and write, 
with proper fpeCtacles 
The firft of them, A C, has found fo much bene- 
fit, as to be able to carry on the exercife of his pro- 
fefiion, that of a furgeon. 
A H fees with both eyes, but not fo well as the 
other five. I have juft now an account from the 
furgeon, who has attended her (in a diftant country), 
that her eyes look well, and her fight improves*. 
A /, another patient, at a diftance from London, 
had the operation done on one eye only ; which he 
recover’d, as my correfpondent informs me, fo as to 
fee tolerably well. 
A My on one eye only, with which he already 
fees very well. 
A E had it performed on both ; one of which 
was loft, and the other recovered ; but continues in- 
flamed, and cannot bear much light. 
A B had it done on one eye only, which was loft.

* Some weeks after this paper was read, Mr. Sharp received an 
account, that the pupils of both eyes had lately contra&ed fo much, 
as hardly to leave room for the admiffion of light j and it was appre- 
hended the patient would foon become blind.
