Note: Jonson has defined wall-eye to be [bd]a disease in the crystalline humor of the eye; glaucoma.[b8] But glaucoma is not a disease of the crystalline humor, nor is wall-eye a disease at all, but merely a natural blemish. --Tully. In the north of England, as Brockett states, persons are said to be wall-eyed when the white of the eye is very large and distorted, or on one side. 2. (Zo[94]l.)
