The " ring of fire" reflex described by Vogt in posterior lenticonus is possibly the result of such a " tube " formation and the play of light which it',may produce. Whatever other secondary features are found associated with lenticonus posterior could follow intra-uterine trauma which in the light of these case reports must be given special consideration. If by definition these cases cannot be included under the term lenticonus posterior then perhaps they may be con'sidered as traumatic post phakat protrusions.
