The Child Won't

Outgrow This

By H. N. BUNDESEN, M.D.

ALL 100 many parents believe that cross-eye

is one of those things which the child will "outgrow." This is a bad mis- take, Statistics show that scarcely one child out of 1,000 with cross-tye will correct this defect without proper treatment. Furthermore, the sooner treat- ment is begun, the better the results will be, so let me urge all parents of cross-eyed young- sters to secure treatment for them at once,

Cross-eye seems ta riu in certain families.

About nine out of 10 children whose eyes pre crossed before the age of Bix have some. ab- normal condition of the eye muscles.

Farsighted At Birth

At birth, alt babies are far- righted. The condition is soon outgrown and, by the time the child is eight years old, he has normal vision. In some in-

stances, however, this farsighted- ness remains. In these cases, there is tendency for the

tyes

to crose, the condition usually developing by the time the child is two and one-half to three Years old. This farsightedness can be corrected with glasses and, if the cross-eye is due to the farsightedness, wearing the glasses will overcome the crossi-

eye.

The cross-eyed person does not ace double; instead, he sees only with one eye. In some types of cross-eye, the child may use first one eye and then the other, but he does not use both If the eye which is not used, the vision in this eye may be gradually Iort. Eventually it will return If the child is forced to use the weak eye, This is done by covering the good eye.

Exercises Cure

If the eyes are still not straight after farsightedness is corrected with glasses, and vision has been returned the weak eye by keeping the good. eye covered, an operation may be necessary. Only children whose eyes are crossed very

glasses and eye exercises alone. exercises do not strengthen weak muscles of the eye. Their action is to teach the child to usa his two eyes together. the eye is severely crossed, taking exercises week after week will not strengthen them.

If, by the time a child is a year old, there is evidence of cross-oye, be should be taken to

an

eye specialist for examina- tion. The doctor win then deelde if correction of the vision with glasses is indicated and when the glasses should be put cn. He will also determine what other treatment may be required at a later date.

PROBLEM GROWS

It's when the youngster is six, cight or older that the problem grows hardest. Indeed, the older the bedwetting child the more upset his parents grow about the matter and the more they alouse emotions and attitudes in him unfavourable for his recovery. What a painful experience it must

be for the bedwetting child eight or ten, who must constant- ly face rebuke and shame and disgrace from his family, even from the relatives and neigh- bours.

As long as he is under such a cloud of ignoralny he may not recover.
