Have you eve had your eye burst? Has it happened to
any of your family? If you lived in Koza Cameroon it
could happen to you! Yesterday a patient came to my
office because his eye had burst in the morning. I
could not understand so I questioned further. Any
trauma to the eye, eye infection, pressure applied to
the eye, products put in the eye. The answer to all
was no. I asked what happened. I woke up this
morning with severe eye pain, when I got up it burst
and a white thing came protruding out. So I looked in
his weeping eye. It was blood shot and had what
appeared to be his eye lens, sticking through his
cornea out in front of his eye. What a sight to
behold! I was unsure what to do. What would you
ophthalmologists do in a place without any eye
equipment other than an ophthalmoscope. So I
amputated the part protruding out. He had not seen
for four years and I told him that I did not think
anything would bring back his sight now. I wanted to
refer him to Maroua before amputating the ���thing���, but
he refused and said essentially to do whatever I could
and that would be it. I hope to see him back in two
days.
