EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Enfermedades de los ojos" (Eye Diseases), provides a vivid and educational illustration of major eye conditions during the historical period. The vertical, upright engraving in color depicts five distinct eye diseases: stye, conjunctivitis, squint, pterygium, and keratitis. A stye, represented by a red, swollen lump on the eyelid, is a common bacterial infection that causes pain and inflammation. Conjunctivitis, illustrated by red, inflamed eyes with discharge, is an infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin layer of tissue lining the inner surface of the eyelid and the white part of the eye. Squint, shown as an eye turned outward or inward, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly, affecting depth perception and visual acuity. Pterygium, depicted as a triangular growth on the cornea, is a benign, fibrovascular growth that can cause discomfort and distortion of vision. Keratitis, illustrated by a cloudy cornea, is an inflammation of the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, which can lead to scarring and vision loss. This engraving, with its intricate details and accurate depiction of the eye diseases, was likely used for educational purposes in schools and institutions during the historical period. It serves as an important reminder of the various eye conditions that can affect individuals and the importance of maintaining eye health. The engraving's scientific and historical significance makes it a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and students in the fields of medicine, optics, and pedagogy.
