STU2IES C.i THE EYE
BY CI CMS
COoatheaed
Stralismos, or Cross Eyes
, We. often, aee otherwise good-looking
persons whose comeliness of counte
nance is entirely spoiled on account of
their being cross-eyed. How often you
see some beautiful-young lady whose
life has been. In a measure, blighted by
this affliction. Where this trouble is
congenital, the babe being born with
one eye turning In. there la little hope
of relief except through a surgical
operation,, called Tenotomy, the eye
Burgeon severing wholly, or in part the
internal Rectus muscle, thus allowing
the external tnuscle to turn the eye for
ward. This operation Is one. that re
quires great akl)l to properly perform,
and thousands of. eyes have been spoiled
and much discomfort experienced by
those upon whom It has been performed.
As a rule, where Strabismus is con
genital, and the eye has been straight
ened by an operation, the vision cannot
be. brought up. to normal by a lens,
there " apparently being a deficiency In
the Retina, and all that ean be hoped
for la the eosmetle effect produced by
the straightening. I ,,
There la another class of cases, how
ever., we wish to specially call to tha
attention of parents, and this latter
.class constitutes probably nine-tenths
of all eases of cross eyes, or Convergent
Strabismus, and is csused, in most
cases, from -Hypermetropla, This turn
ing of the eyea Inward usually begins
about the age of from t to years, or
aa soon aa the child commences te use
Ite ayee considerably at the near point,
as in looking at . picture-books or Its
toys. It Is the excessive strain the eyes
undergo in an effort to obtain clear
vision that causes the eyes, one or both,
te turn in. ' Usually one of tha eyes Is
most affected, and objects seen with- It
are soon disregarded, and It . beoomes
practically, a useless organ, u If this
error of vision is looked after, in time
the child's eyes will become straight
and a strain on its whole nervous sys
tem will be relieved,, allowing thla
wasted nerve energy to be used where
needed In building up a strong body.' -(To
