IN several of his many writings Taylor maintained that he could cure squint without risk by a prompt and almost painless operation. As far as has been known up to now, he himself never described the theoretical basis and the method of his operation. We have had information only from his contemporaries, who described his mode of procedure. At Rouen, Lecat (1743) saw him cutting off a strip of co...

Spectacle correction of unusually hypermetropic refractions from age 1 year did not reduce the incidence of squint or amblyopia, nor did it lead to a reduction in the severity of residual amblyopia after subsequent occlusion.

In all forms of dysfunction of ocular motility the ultimate aim in obtainin% an understanding of the nature of the condition is to try and provide some form of treatment. This has beenl achieved in most types of strabismus with the considerable advances which have been made in overcoming the sensory and motor complications of the squint, but few such advances have been made in the treatment of ...

CONCOMITANT convergent squint usually begins during childhood. Cosse (1899) states that in 90 2 per cent. the onset occurs between birth land the age .of 5 years; Priestley Smith (1898) states that 300 out of 347 cases began during the first 5 years; Worth (1939) found that 70 per cent. of uniocular convergent squints began before the age of 4 years and that 88 per cent. of alternating squints ...

THE following series of 100 consecutive cases operated on for convergent concomitant squint is recorded to; show the degree of success which can be obtained by operation combined with orthoptic treatment. The patients were children from 6 to 14 years old, referred from the Salford Education. Committee Clinic and operated on at the Salford Municipal Hospital. It is estimated that in the orthopti...

THE problem of the restoration of full vision in the squinting eye in uniocular squints is one which obtrudes itself in every phase of the treatment of strabismus. There is, of course, nothing new in the recognition of the importance of the treatment of amblyopia in squint. Occlusion of the fixing eye in cases of squint has been a recognized procedure since the middle of the 18th century, and t...
