914 complete pairs of spectacles were provided, some
of these being renewals after breakages. In addition, in 300
cases the lenses of spectacles were replaced or repairs of
frames were carried out.
Dr. H.J.R. Thorne, M. B., B.S., D.O., D.O.M.S., the
Ophthalmologist, reports as follows:-
"The School Eye Clinic - now (with effect from
1st February, 1960,) well accommodated and set up
in the new Clinic at Kenwood Gardens, Ilford - has
continued to function smoothly and satisfactorily.
The Clinic has been well attended at all times
throughout the year. The cases seen call for no special
comment - the usual school eye clinic "mixture"
with refractive errors and squints predominating.
Good co-operation has been obtained from
London Eye Hospitals and from the Eye Department
of King George Hospital, Ilford, to which cases requiring
further investigation and/or operation have
been referred as necessary.
The Orthoptic Department (at Mayesbrook)
and the arrangements for fitting and supply of spectacles
(by attending Optician) have been quite satisfactory."
