George Leo Haydock, on Tob 11:14

“And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg.”

“Hour. This is not in the other versions. (Calmet) — It would intimate that the operation was natural. (Menochius) — Yet some think that the cure was too instantaneous; (Drusius) or that the miracle consisted in the revelation of a remedy, till then unknown. (Serarius) — The effect seems to have been of the same nature as that produced by the heart, &c., chap. vi. 8. (Worthington; Calmet) — Estius believes that the optic nerve was entirely burnt. If the external coat of the eyes was only covered with a sort of skin, it might be removed by the gall of several fishes. (Calmet) — Callionymi fel cicatrices sanat & carnes oculorum supervacuas consumit. (Pliny, [Natural History?] xxxii 4. (Menochius)”
