Book Description

Excerpt from The Physician and Surgeon, Vol. 24: A Professional Medical Journal; January to December, 1902 Prolonged gazing at near objects may exaggerate or develop a squint, especially if the child is farsighted. While this form of strabismus usually develops at a time when the child begins to fix his attention upon objects held'in the hand, it may not develop until several years later. It is in this latter class of cases that kindergarten work is harmful. When first noticed, the squint may be periodic or occasional, being noticed only when the child looks at near objects. The same eye may always deviate, or it maybe noticed that sometimes the right eye, sometimes the left squints. In the latter form the strabismus is said to be alternating.
