"The School Eye Clinics have continued to function smoothly
and satisfactorily.
The Clinics have been well attended at all times throughout
the year. The cases call for no special comment — the usual school
eye clinic "mixture" with refractive errors, amblyopic eyes and
squints predominating, but with a few cases of congenital abnormalities

Equipment and accommodation are adequate and satisfactory.
Good liaison has been established with the Eye Department of King
George Hospital, Ilford, to which, as far as possible cases requiring

Eye Hospitals have also co-operated as necessary.

for fitting, supply and repair of spectacles (by attending
opticians), have been quite satisfactory."

"Mrs. J. Lewis (nee Dixon), D.B.O., resigned her appointment
as Orthoptist at the Mayesbrook Health Services Clinic on 24th July,
1964, and has been succeeded by Miss M. Ward, D.B.O., who commenced
duties on 27th July, 1964.
237 sessions were held throughout the year. 102 new cases
were investigated and the total attendances amounted to 636. 53
cases were discharged. 118 new and old cases were in attendance
at the Clinic on 31st December, 1964.

Eye Clinic in the treatment and observation of squint cases."

in charge, has resigned in order to take up the post of Superintendent
Physiotherapist at the Cerebral Palsy School. He has, however,
been given the necessary time off to enable him to continue his
