In April 1849, Gage returned to Cavendish and visited Harlow, who noted at that time loss of vision and ptosis of the left eye, and a large scar on the forehead from Harlow's draining of the abscess. Harlow's 1848 discussion, published just as Gage was emerging from his convalescence, had merely hinted at psychological symptoms.
