Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the medical [sc. instrument of that name].[1]
[Note] that when a probe has been inserted into the eye, we do not apprehend the sensible objects, nor the air that happens to be between [sc. the eye and the probe], but what has been illuminated.[2] This is also the reason that perceptions of the proper sense organs are not apprehended.[3]
