  • Description: Case Reports During routine histopathologic study of three eyes which were removed in the Glaucoma Clinic with the clinical diagnosis of “wide-angle glaucoma, with exfoliation of the lens capsule,” I found that, although my findings coincided in part with those in earlier reports, these eyes revealed some pathologic findings which had not been recognized nor fully appreciated by previous authors.Case 1 A man, aged 60 years, first noted halos around lights with his right eye about three years ago. Trantas (1932) suggested that the capsular lesions might be the result of senile degenerative changes which attacked not only the anterior capsule but also most of the other ocular tissues as well, and especially the glass membranes and the transparent media, including the vitreous body. [...]the capsular surface would take on the appearance of having been sprinkled with powder. Holloway and Cowan, in continuing their discussion, make what seems to me a particularly revealing statement indicating that confusion existed in Vogt's mind concerning the cases which he had reported: “Vogt (1929) excluded heat and attributed it (‘true’ exfoliation) to the infrared rays, and stated that, in addition to the axial lens opacities, a partial or complete detachment of the anterior lamella of the anterior lens capsule may occur.
