i 1 "i Eye Testing Machine Bought for School By Elks Association Portland The Oregon State Elks association has purchased a $1,200 machine for the eye de partment of the University of Oregon medical school in Port land which is revolutionizing the testing of side vision among Visually handicapped children. Oregon's 41 Elks lodges through their state association have spent approximately $85,- 000 in support of the Children s Eye clinic at the medical school. The new machine, manufac tured in Switzerland and called the Goldman perimeter, is be lieved to be the only one in the West. The perimeter is so new that it still is considered in the experimental stage. Testing of side vision no long er is much of a problem for the Children's Eye clinic because of the speedy, accurate perimeter, according -to Dr. John L. Bond, clinic director; Sida Vision Wider Central vision, which is sharp, is used to read, write and look directly ahead explained Dr. Bond. It has a range of only a few degrees, but side vision has a field of 180 degrees and some persons have a wider range than POPS JOUY that. Side vision, although not as sharp as central vision, is just as important. Without side vision, one wouM bump into things when attempting to pass by them and would be blind at night. One hundred years ago, doc tors termed a loss of side vision the "blind staggers," meaning that the patient stumbled about, from side to side, bumping into objects. Since then the term has been corrupted tu describe a drunk person. ' May Prevent Accidents Early detection of poor side vision followed by treatment or surgery may save a child from being prone to accidents. The afflicting diseases usually are found in the eye, brain or optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. The investigative work with the perimeter is under the di rection of Dr. John Weissel, resi dent eye doctor at the medical school. He feels that one of the advantages of the perimeter is that it keeps a child from being distracted. . The child sits facing the in terior of the large, bowl-shaped perimeter, with his head partly inside. His chin rests on a sup port and his head is strapped so he cannot move . it. Watching through a one-way telescopic tube in back of the perimeter, the doctor sees that the child's eyes are fixed on the center point inside the bowl.
