Dr. G. F. Ensor, Consultant Ophthalmologist submits the
following report on the work of the Wanstead Place Ophthalmic
Clinic:—
"We have had a full year without any difficulties, the Clinic
remaining extremely busy and very harmonious.
There seems to be variable results obtained from the
screening at the School Medical Inspections, and I feel it
would agree with the views recently expressed by the Faculty
of Ophthalmologists If doubtful cases were re-tested by the
longer established method. Nevertheless, it Is obviously a
great help to the children when their myopia is spotted In the
early stages as is possible In this day and age."
