Excerpt from Contributions to Ophthalmology
The safest, and therefore the best way to make the diagnosis in asthenopia is to record the data, as indicated in the six steps above, and to give the glass, or correction, which embodies the results of all the steps. As an extra precaution the observer should record the data of his ophthalmoscopic tests oofore he makes any glass tests.
We have had a patient, a college student, come to our office wear ing minus elevens, which he had selected by the aid of an Optician as those with which he seemed to be able to see best, far and near, who turned out, after thorough saturation of his ciliary muscle with atropia, to be largely hypermetropic, so Titanic was his spasm of accommodation.
We must not turn to'the fathers of ophthalmology in any spirit of abject submission to their dicta. We must show ourselves worthy of our parentage. We 'must cultivate-the same spirit of independent research which enabled them to do so much. They, by precept and example, bid us search for facts, and to use facts in a logical way.
