far as possible cases requiring further investigation and/or operation have
been referred to the Eye Department of King George Hospital, Ilford, with
which good liaison and co-operation have been established. The London
Eye Hospitals have also co-operated as necessary.
The Orthoptic Department (at Mayesbrook) and the arrangements for
fitting, supply and repair of spectacles (by attending optician) have been
quite satisfactory."
ORTHOPTIC CLINIC.
Miss C. Muir, D.B.O. (Sydney), makes the following report on the
Orthoptic Clinic held at Mayesbrook Health Services Clinic for the year
ended 31st December 1962.
For the first ten months of 1962 Miss M. Lewis attended one session
per week, and Miss Muir then commenced attending 5 sessions weekly.
"85 sessions were held throughout the year and 50 new cases
were referred for treatment. In addition 30 cases were discharged.
Total attendances amounted to 260.
The Orthoptic Clinic is an indispensable adjunct to the School
Eye Clinic in the treatment and observation of squint cases."
ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC.
Mr. H. G. Korvin, F.R.C.S., the Orthopaedic Surgeon makes the
following report.
"No new developments have taken place in these clinics during
the past year. The number of cases appears to be slightly declining
mainly through serious cases only being referred there.
The new Kenwood Gardens Clinic has proved to be most satisfactory.
Arrangements for hospital admissions, x-ray examinations,
laboratory investigations, and provision of surgical appliances, have
been the same as in previous years.
I would like, again, to thank all those who helped in the running
of the Clinics, for their helpful co-operation."
