Abstract
Most authors are of the opinion that hyperopia tends to decrease with the advancing age of the patient. To investigate this idea a survey was made, taking into consideration only children with convergent strabismus. Monocular convergence was present in eighty-five cases, and alternating convergence in sixteen cases. A study was made of the average norm of refraction under atropine cycloplegia, and the results of the first examination were compared with those obtained upon the last examination in the same case. It was found that an increase in hyperopia occurred in both the average norm and the average astigmatism, the sphere increasing in a greater number of cases and to a greater degree than the cylinder. From the Department of Ophthalmology of the Children's Memorial Hospital. Read before the Chicago Ophthalmological Society, February 18, 1935.
