Although amongst schoolchildren there seen to be slightly more boys affected than giris, amongst adult the percentage is reversed. test, 60 women were found to have deficient eyesight against 40, men:

The explanations offered were that fewer women use their eyes for close work than men, and that therefore shortcomings are more likely to go unnoticed, and that vanity prevents many women from wearing glasses.

Decrease in Squinting

The present trend suggests that in- the next generation the man or woman who does not wear glasses will be a.."freak.". Even those with normal eyesight may wear glasses as a protection against glore, un- doubtedly the cause of much strain. Continuous watching of einerna screens, of landscapes slipping by at 60 miles an hour, and glare from hard pavements probably explain, as much as increased reading, why more of us need glasses every year.

Only one complaint seems to be on the decrease squint, which is the result of the brain refusing to focus the

two eyes at the same time. New- born babies cannot focus their eyes, but normally the power to do so is acquired and should be full by two years at the most. When squint per- tists or is acquired, the child can be cured by the use of pictures and special apparatus.
