Same as Model 215 but Automatic Cylinder Arrangement omitted.
Embodying Spherical Lenses Combined with Appliances for Testing and Correcting Muscular Imbalance.
Chapter IX
FIRST METHOD OF TREATMENT
OPTICAL CORRECTION
The mere determination of the degree of an imbalance, or even the diagnosis of a patient’s trouble, is not sufficient. If relief is to be secured, something more must be accomplished.
As previously stated, muscular imbalance may be corrected through one of the four following rules or methods, each explained in their relative order:
- 1—Optical Correction
- 2—Muscular Exercise
- 3—Use of Prism Lenses
- 4—Operative Methods
Esophoria
To correct a case of muscular imbalance, where six degrees of esophoria has been determined, the first rule of making the test for optical correction with the Ski-optometer’s spherical and cylindrical lenses, would be in the line of routine. The binocular test made with the phorometer and combined use of the red Maddox rod would have determined the six degrees of esophoria.
