DETACHMENT OF THE RETINA.

This may occur in any case of retinitis or choroiditis. It is especially

common in recurrent ophthalmia in horses. It may also occur through the

dragging by contracting inflammatory products in organization.

Spontaneous recoveries have taken place through reabsorption, and

attempts have been made by the injection of iodide lotion to hasten

this, or more safely by rest and diaphoresis. Puncture and aspiration

have also been tried with most varied results. As a rule in the lower

animals the treatment of the inflammation, with rest, a pressure

bandage, and pilocarpin will be indicated.
