Hypermetropias [noun]

It is important to notice that Donders' theory makes convergent squint appear as almost a necessary consequence of hypermetropia.

Donders declares no other conclusion to be possible, than this, that the hypermetropia is the cause of the squint.

Asthenopia, which occurs in children in connection with hypermetropia, is nearly always accompanied by defective vision.

In full acuity of vision even high degrees of hypermetropia are no trouble to children.

According to this the percentage of the hypermetropia (including doubtful cases) amounts to 66 per cent.

The examination showed for the right eye hypermetropia 1·5, for the left myopia 3·5 D.; full acuity of vision on both sides.

As a rule preponderance of the interni in hypermetropia leads eventually to convergent squint even in childhood.

Double tenotomy of the interni and correction of the hypermetropia effected the cure of the squint.

(a) In myopia, emmetropia, and doubtful hypermetropia, with convergent and divergent squint together 329 cases.

Slight hypermetropia was present on both sides, and nearly full visual acuteness.
