Abstract
I WAS stung in my left eye by a bee yesterday just above the eyelid. Within an hour and a half that eye became almost insensitive to light, but quickly recovered. In the first stage of recovery it was practically colour-blind, and when the other eye was closed objects appeared as seen by the light of a sodium flame or a mercury arc light. To-day the eye has fully recovered. I am wondering whether other of your readers can record a similar experience.
