RECORDING VISUAL TRAINING FINDINGS—ZETTEL recorded for each treatment along with the time which this exercise is given This discussion of the use of the visual training instruments was not intended to be complete. It is only a mention of each instrument and the manner in which the results are recorded. It should be empha sized that when giving orthoptics to a patient at least four ot five dif- ferent instruments are used during each treatment. here are several different reasons why this procedure is used. First, by using several different approaches to the problem the patient seems better able to maintain and use what he has learned. Second, more than one factor related to the visual problem may be trained. For example, if a patient between the ages of six and 18 were given base-out training, the following instruments would be used in this order: roto- ope, stereo-orthopter, probably the tachistoscope, and the metronoscope which would be set up for accommodative rock. ‘Third, the impression which the use of the several different instruments makes on the patient or his parents should not be under-rated. As stated before this adds to the prestige and psychological advantage of the optometrist when giving visual training. 612 ENQUIRER BLDG CINCINNATI 2, OHIO ANNOUNCEMENT NEW CHIEF OF THE MEDICAL SERVICE CORPS Colonel Leonard P.
