Wall"-eye` noun

Etymology

Definitions

1. An eye in which the iris is of a very light gray or whitish color; -- said usually of horses. Booth. ✍ Jonson has defined wall-eye to be "a disease in the crystalline humor of the eye; glaucoma." 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. (Zoöl.) (a) An American fresh-water food fish (Stizostedion vitreum) having large and prominent eyes; -- called also glasseye, pike perch, yellow pike, and wall-eyed perch. (b) A California surf fish (Holconotus argenteus). (c) The alewife; -- called also wall-eyed herring.

Wall"-eyed` adjective

Etymology

Definitions

1. Having an eye of a very light gray or whitish color.

It is an eye which is utterly and incurably perverted, an eye that knows no pity.
