RETROLENTAL\ FIBROPLASIA BmsoL 1487 eyes of stillborn infants and of those dying in the early weeks of life, and hope that this will throw some light on the problem. Summary Histological appearances of nine eyes enucleated in the late stage of retrolental fibroplasia are described. It is considered that the condition is inflammatory in origin, but the cause of the irritation cannot be deduced from the histology. We are grateful to the surgeons of the Oxford Eye Hospital for permission to use the histories of cases under their charge.
