All six pupils commenced at the periphery, extended inward, and were of different sizes.
The fundus could be clearly seen through all of the pupils, and there was no posterior staphyloma nor any choroidal changes.
There was a rather high degree of myopia.
This peculiarity was evidently congenital, and no traces of a central pupil nor marks of a past iritis could be found. Clinical Sketches a contains quite an extensive article on and several illustrations of congenital anomalies of the iris. Double crystalline lenses are sometimes seen.
Fritsch and Valisneri have seen this anomaly and there are modern references to it. Wordsworth presented to the Medical Society of London six members of one family, all of whom had congenital displacement of the crystalline lens outward and upward.
