Abstract
Anterior lenticonus is such an extremely rare condition that this case is presented briefly for consideration. All literature to date reveals only ten undoubted cases. Dr. Benjamin Rones reviewed these cases before this section in 1934. The case here presented is offered as the eleventh true type of anterior lenticonus. REPORT OF CASE S. W. H., a man, aged 33, came under observation in March 1927. Since the age of 17 he had been aware of poor vision, causing him to give up boxing and to be refused enlistment in the army. As a furnace builder in a glass factory he was considerably handicapped. Vision in a darkened room was: Right 20/100 + 1.00 = 20/70 Left 20/70 + 1.00 = 20/50 When the refraction room was illuminated vision became reduced to 10/200 and did not admit of any improvement, this change, of course, resulting from the alteration in the size of the pupil.
