I was at one time nearly blind. The next day I could scarcely see, and
was quite unable to read a book. For three weeks after, I had a very

hours; and as the secondary effect, on the days following, a pressure as

times only portions of objects can be seen, at other times they seem
double (third day), [120]. ► Double and confused vision (immediately),
[83]. ►

[540.] ►

► Distant objects are indistinct,
after some extract in the left eye; afternoon, distant objects clearer;
nearer, indistinct, but looking awhile to the same spot or in the
distance, the objects become distinct, [50].
► False sight; all things appear

for one, and is not aware of it until he falls, [3]. ► *The second

He sees things as if through coarse linen, only by pieces, and as if cut
up; for instance, of a face he saw only the nose, etc., as if the eyes
had but a small circle of vision, and he was able to see only a small
point at once, [1]. ► Taking a book to read, he cannot
distinguish the letters, not even the lines; it is all dark and
flickering, but after awhile everything becomes clearer, and finally he
can read, [50]. ► Sight troubled; could not focus the
letters of MS.; the letters looked confused; distant objects not
affected (third day). The same dulness of vision for small objects near
the eye; the lines of letters written look double (fourth day). Great
presbyopia; obliged to use the spectacles of an old person, and then can
read and write as usual, otherwise cannot read a word; distant and large
objects are seen as well as ever, but small and near objects are
completely confused (sixth day). Presbyopia continued (seven and ninth
days); the presbyopia ceased two days after medicine was left off; while
it lasted, I had to wear spectacles when reading or writing, [223]. ►
Afternoon, when reading print, letters seemed indistinct (first day), [222]. ►
When reading, he was unable to distinguish a syllable; the letters
seemed to move and become blurred, [1].
► During the contraction of the
pupils, caused by drinking vinegar, all objects appear to him very
small; distant objects he can hardly see, but on looking at the sun, the
pupils remain immovable, and all turns black before the eyes, [3]. ►
Things always appeared to him to be in an oblique position, [1]. ►
The black letters seem to him gray, and as if a second one of the same
kind and of a light-gray color were placed sideways or above (a kind of
diplopia); for example “F, F;” writing
an F, to show it, he went with the pencil the
second time over the same line, supposing to have drawn a second one,
[1]. [560.]
► Black things seem to him gray, [2]. ►
He seems to see a reddish-gray border around white things, for instance,
around a piece of paper, [1]. ► Smoking appearance of the atmosphere, [92]. ►
The first sensible effect is in the sight; there appears a preternatural
dilatation of the pupil of the eye; vision is rendered indistinct and
confused; objects appear multiplied, diversified, and variously colored;
the patient complains that he cannot see clearly; he cannot discern a
small object, such, for instance, as the point of a pin or needle; he
sees in the room objects which do not exist, and complains of a numbness
of the head attended with vertigo, [22a].

repeated, at 1.50 P.M. (second day); bright spot before left eye on suddenly turning head to left, while lying in bed in the dark a little
before midnight (third day); bright spot before left
eye on turning head to left, while
lying in bed in the dark before daybreak (fifth day), [216]. ►
Transient bright spots before eyes in the dark, in the evening after
sunset (twentieth and thirty-sixth days); one very large, somewhat to
left of line of vision, when turning head to left (lying in bed),
(twenty-ninth day); before left eye when turning head to left
