Good liaison and co-operation have been obtained
from London Eye Hospitals and especially 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.
ORTHOPTIC CLINIC.
Miss M. Townsend, D.B.O.. makes the following report
on the Orthoptic Clinic held at Mayesbrook Health Services
Clinic for the year ended 31st December, 1961.
"206 sessions were held throughout the year
and 121 new cases were referred for treatment. In
addition 106 old cases were under treatment. Total
attendances amounted to 769 and 46 patients were
discharged.
The Orthoptic Clinic functioned efficiently as
an indispensible adjunct to the School Eye Clinic in
the treatment and observation of squint cases-both
true and latent and pre- and post-operative."
Miss Townsend attended at the Clinic for five sessions
a week.
ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC.
Mr. H. G. Korvin, F.R.C.S., the Orthopaedic Surgeon
makes the following report.
"Some further modifications carried out during
the year made the Kenwood Gardens Clinic a most
satisfactory place to work in. The tea-kitchen is
accessible now from the waiting hall without passing
the orthopaedic room. Suspension hooks and a
sliding gantry have been fitted on the ceiling. There
are still some problems to solve-provision of a
filing cabinet for X-ray films and of suitable changing
accommodation for children receiving sunlight treatment.
A new type of floor-mat has proved very
satisfactory.
