Dr. R. Peswani, Ophthalmologist at Kenwood Gardens Clinic,
reports as follows:-
The work in the clinic is concerned mainly with the investigation
and correction of refractive errors, muscle inbalances and squints. Alll
cases referred are first refracted, the majority under cycloplegia and
glasses prescribed as required. Cases of muscle inbalance and squint
are then referred to the orthoptist for investigation and any required
treatment. Any cases needing surgery are referred to King George
Hospital and it is nice to see close co-operation of consulting staff
there.
Dr. G. F. Ensor, Consultant Ophthalmologist submits the following
report on the work of the Wanstead Place Ophthalmic Clinic:-
"I am very pleased to be able to state that work at this Clinic has
progressed very favourably during the past year, due I feel to the staff
involved working hard and in complete harmony. The fact that the Orthoptist
is present on the same day the Ophthalmic Sessions are held has
proved a great help in the smooth running of the Clinics. The attendances
are good and the register in consequence is up to date."
Dr. P. Lancer, Ophthalmologist at Mayesbrook Clinic comments on
his clinic as follows:—
The work of the school clinic is essentially that of refraction work
associated with investigation and treatment of squints.
There is a good liaison between hospital and clinic and the advantage
of combined appointment helps continuity of treatment.
I would ask for early referral of children regarding defective vision
since the incidence of amblyopia is still high.
