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

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.

The arm is connected to a
graph to chart the various paths
of the lights. The doctor also can
determine at what angle a child
first sees a light as it sweeps
from behind the youngster, in the
range of his side vision. '
