Crow-Eyed Children
-The eye* are considered the
most attractive and desirable
part of the human body. Many
writers have made this state-
ment.
Some have called them “the
hookf of love"—“the wateh-
men'df the body"—“the things
which make sound folks mad
and mad men sane”—“the
lamps of love”—and “Cupid’s
arrow.”
If one has good eyes, other
facial deformities are not so
obvious, and if one is so unfor-
tunate as to be cross-eyed, sta-
tistics show that the chances
of getting married are ap-
proximately only one in two-
hundred and eighty-three.
Cross-eyed people were con-
sidered by primitive men to
have been cursed before their
birth, and ic olien days they
were obliged to occupy pews
away from the rest of the con-
gregation during religious
services because they were con-
sidered to have been cursed
by the Evil One.
Even today, cross-eyed per-
sons are supposed, by many, to

be harbingers of ill luck, and
children often cross their Un-
gers to ward oif danger from
a cross-eyed individual looking
at them.
A little more than fifty years
ago, a German physician nam-
ed Von Grafe devised an oper-
ation to overcome cross-eyes,
and as a consequence, this
condition, previously relative-
ly common, is now seldom met
with.
Cross-eyes are medically
termed convergent strabismus,
and are the most common
gross disorder found in chil-
dren. Fortunately if treatment
is started as’soon as any devia-
tion of the eyes become mani-
fest, the chances are 100 to 1,
j that the situation can be cor-
rected. and this handicap eli-
minated from the life of the
young one.
Simultaneous vision with
both eyes, rather than just a
cosmetically good position of
the eyes, usually results from
prompt and scientific surgical
attention.
As a rule cross-eyed chil-
jdren have what some eye spe-
cialists term “a lazy eye” and
'children with this trouble,
j suppress the vision of that eye

and use the normal eye most
frequently.
These little ones are often
times far sighted and experi-
ence difficulty in seeing with
both eyes simultaneously.
Cross-eyes are hereditary,
and there is a distinct tendency
for them to occur in families. I
have one family which I have
known for three generations
and every one has had this
trouble, the grandfather assur-
ing me that his father and
grandfather were also victims
of this disorder.
Sterescopes, with pictures
adapted to attract children,
stimulate both eyes to see prop-
erly. and cross-eyed little-ones
shouid be given this toy.
The type on books given
them to read should be heavy
and of good size. (
The operation required to
straighten cross-eyes is rela-
tively simple, hut too technical
to be understood by the lay-
man, and the sooner in life this
operation is done, the more
certain are the results.
So if your child has a squint,
or some defect in his vision,
consult the best eye specialist
in town, with the assurance
that proper vision and perfect
sight can be restored, in prac-
tically every case.
