The provision of a Giles Archer Colour Testing Unit
has enabled a number of children to be examined for
colour defect and so has prevented in a number of cases,
preparations being made for entry into obviously unsuitable
occupations.
The incidence of colour defect corresponded closely
with that of the average population.
An attempt has been made to avoid delays in seeing
patients by a more even spacing of appointments and the
postponements of all possible clerical work to the end of
the session. This has proved satisfactory in that the
average waiting period before being seen is 15 minutes.
The prompt provision of glasses has materially helped
this clinic to provide an effective service for those in need
of it.
