By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. "j TOO often parents wait and wait to see if the very young child will outgrow being cross-eyed. The doctor calls the condition strabismus. However, children do not outgrow this disorder. vTherefore t it is important that, treatment be started as soon'as possible for the crOss-cyed child, Kir the earlier the cross-eyedness or squint is corrected, the better the\chance for normal l eye dCveiA opment. Hot only will the non--correcting of the squint or cresseyedness destroy the vision in one of the eyes, but it may alp injure the child, if it is not j corrected before school age. Eye Muscle Disorder Doctors estimate that at least ninety per cent of the children who are cross-eyed before the age of six have some form of basic eye muscle disorder. Squint or crosseyedness .may occur at birth and within the first year of life. However, sometimes it won’t occur until the child is between two and >a half to three years of age. / Since .all babies are farsighted Ti* and have practically no power of accommodation, the eyes may seem crossed until the baby learns, to accommodate. In time, .-1 the eye mechanism becomes more sensitive and the baby learns to use the eyes as a team. However,
