In 1955 65 cases were discharged as follows:—
(a) | Orthoptically satisfactory | 28 |
(b) | Cosmetic | 1 |
(c) | Improved | 9 |
(d) | Failure to improve (including intractable amblyopia) | 11 |
(e) | Failure to attend | 9 |
(f) | Transferred | 7 |
Total discharged | 65 |
Statistics are lower than in the two previous years which can be attributed
to the fact that the intake of new cases has been Lower, and most
cases attending in 1953 and 1954 are either now discharged or attending
at longer intervals.
