STIAIiHTENINS EYES.
New Theory Expfetlncd 4 Proven by
i i Dr, Sey mew to TUmy
Patients.
I irmko the statement that nine out
of every ten persons who are cross
eyed can trace this condition to a de
fect In their sight. It is very rare that
a chili Is horn cross-eyed. In the ma
jority o instances the eyes "become
crossed "between the ages of one" and
five years, and almost any mother will
tell you that this condition dates back
to a tall, a sudden fright or some sick
ness. But the real causo dates farther
hack than this. The child was horn
wltli defective vision, and until weak
ened by sickness or nervous shoclc they
were not obliged to cross themjn or
der to see. As a small child the eyes
are seldom crossed any length of tim9.
But repeated strain is apt to leave
them a little more crossed each time,
until eventually the child is cross-eyed.
You are apt to neglect this state of
affairs, feeling certain that as they
grow older the eyes will straighten
thomsolves, or that an operation may
be performed which will restore the
eyes to their normal condition; but
"here is where you make very grave
mistake. In the first place the sight
of the eye which becomes crossed is
more than likely to depreciate In power
and in fact, if persistently neglected,
Is almost sure to become entirely use
less. You are not aware of this fact,
for the eye does not change in appear
ance 1n the least, and you only wait for
a convenient time to have it straight

then to keep the eye fixed on the same
object that the other eye ses. And if
'the 'operation is successful in improv
ing the appearance, it does not restore
the sight to the long-neglected cross
eye. THow ofton do we hear parents say
that thev do not wish to take the re
sponsibility of bavins their children's I
eyes straightened urtil the child is old
enough to express a wish in the mat
ter himself, for foar the operation
might injure the sight. This view of
itheimattor is wholly unbecoming to .a
iparont who has the real welfare of the
child at heart, for the child is sure 'to
learn in later years that this neglect
has been the means of bis losing 'the
fslghfof an eye.
'(The (family physician has boon Lo
blame ifor -many a sightless eyo, as be
has advised the parents to let tho-mat-
ter go and perhaps the eye win
straighten itself in time. This does
happen sometimes, but the occasions
Are very rare, and it usually goes from
bad to worso.
Of course young people and often
times middle-aged persons are not e
yond the reach of optical science, as I
have had in the past, and still ha7e
many patients who have passed the
age of childhood long ago, and whoso
eyes have been most satisfactorily
straightened.
You ask why all those explanations
and what is the proper course to tae
when a tendency to cross-eyes is first
noticed in children? It is simply this:
Take them at once to a thoroughly
competent specialist and have their
eyes examined with rogard to the con
dition of their sight, and 1 promise you
you have done the correct thing, for

strained condition of the sight. To be
sure, it is only within recent years
that It bas bcon possible to fit a small
child with glasses, but with the meth
ods now employed children, even as
young as throe years of age, can be
as accurately fitted as a grown per
i son, although the means used are very
different from the customary test given
by tho average oculist or optician.

this feature of my specialty and have
