Διὰ τί τινες τῶν ὀφθαλμιασάντων ὀξύτερον ὁρῶσιν; ἢ δῆλον, ὅτι ᾧ λόγῳ τὰ ἀποδακρυτικὰ κολλύρια ὀξυδορκικὰ λέγεται, τῷ ἐκ τῆς ἀποδακρύσεως καὶ ὡς εἰπεῖν καθάρσεως ὀξύτερον ὁρᾶν τοὺς χρωμένους· οὕτω καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐκ τῆς ὀφθαλμίας ἀποδακρυσάντων, ἐκ παχυτέρας καὶ ἐπικειμένης τινὸς ὕλης συμβαίνει τὸ ἄμεινον ὁρᾶν, καθάρσεως γενομένης;
