Unfortunately the majority of statements brought to the writer's attention appear to be too didactic to be ac- cepted in full. It is claimed alternately that this function either does or does not exist. Some of our Optometric colleagues claim that their respective schools have taught that this function can not and does not exist. Further- more they are supported by many of our lead- ing authors in their texts concerning refraction. Again some practitioners will claim, on the basis of a few odd reactions noted in an oc- casional patient, that Negative Accommoda- tion is tzr 71111513 11 fznzclimz as Positive Accom- modation itself. These same men, however, who will argue either pro or con in this question, will readily admit the variability that exists in other functions of the body. They accept without question the fact that the func- tion of circulation may be carried on under moderately different degrees of pressure for different patients. We all know that a blood pressure, considered normal for one individual, may be considered high for another. Again, and more pertinent to our field, we occasionally find a patient, who can rfofznznzrily nzeznifert some degree of divergence for infinity. fThe writer recalls a fellow Optometric student with this ability. He was definitely not a strab case -his other binocular functions being well within the normal rangej. If these variations can and do exist in other functions, why then is it not logical to assume that they may, and at times do exist in the accommodative function of some individuals, giving rise to Negative Accommodation, or something that acts very much like it. Many of us in practice today have served as Optometrists with the armed forces, and 4' Reprinted from The Rhode Island Optometric journal' . 4' By Willifzflz D. Corrente, O.D. '41 M P1'0z'ia'e12ce. R. I. were at times called upon to refract with a cycloplegic, which in most cases followed the manifest refraction, and was used as an addi- tional check-test. In cases where the manifest and cycloplegic differed moderately, a post- cyclopegic refraction was made. It naturally was usual to find less minus under cyclopegia. There was, in most cases of myopia, a corres- ponding ifzrreare in uncorrected vision, due to the lowered degree of myopia found under the cyclopegic. Occasionally, however, the cyclo- plegia seemed to produce a reverse reaction and a marked defreme in uncorrected vision was noted in myopes. It seemed as if the homa- tropine had inhibited the patient's increased vision. One of the most marked cases of this type was recorded by the writer, and is pre- sented below with additional comments. Un- fortunately the equipment available for this refraction prevented a complete analysis, but the findings presented are accurate and have been verified by other examiners present at the time. When it was noted that the patient presented this unusual reaction, additional care was taken with the patient to ascertain his reactions-hence the comments following the various tests.

We tried to coax more naked vision under cycloplegic, we asked the patient to squint or use any other means known to him to improve his vision, all without successg the bert possible vision was 20f300. The patient also reported a severe drop in vision while under cycloplegic, very similar to that re- ported by hyperopes while under cyclopegia. It was at this point that we hrst considered Negative Accommodation. Did the homatro- pine inhibit this Negative Accommodation as it does Positive Accommodation in a hy- perope? l Refraction under cyclopegic: O.

This indicates that some accommodative function is supplying at least one diopter of mizzur power, over the so-called position of rest inducted on the ciliary by the homatropine. ADDITIONAL NOTES: If the cycloplegic inhibited all the ciliary action, then the patient is about a three diopter myope, with the ability to negatively accomodate for at least one diopter. When this Negative Accommodation was inhibited by cycloplegia, the patient re- mained a three diopter myope, with a cor- rerlpozzdizzg decrease in vision to 20f300. Slit lamp examination of the media failed to reveal any irregularities which might have created marginal aberrations due to the en- larged pupil. While at times a flight de- crease in vision under the cycloplegia can be explained by these marginal aberrations, it was felt that the drop from 20f60 to 2Of300 was considerably out of proportion and therefore not consistent with this ex- planation. CONCLUSION: All of the refractionists present at the time, both optometric and medical, sincerely felt that the patient had developed an unusual accommodative function, which enabled him to manifest a lesser degree of myopia than he actually had. This function reacted in the exact manner that Positive Accommoda- tion reacts in a hyperope, except that it was okpporite in function. It was therefore felt that the patient could manifest for distance at least one diopter of Negative Accommo- dationf' The writer would appreciate receiving any O.

Graduates Nineteen at June Commencement Exercises In the first formal commencement exercises held by the Massachusetts School of Optometry since 1943, 19 members of the Class of '47 were awarded diplomas on -Sunday afternoon, june 8th, at the New England Mutual Hall. Before an audience of 500 relatives and guests, Dean Ralph H. Green gave high praise to the 1947 graduates, who had attained the highest scholastic average in the recent history of the school. Of the 19 new optometrists, twelve were graduated with honors, a record that is not likely to be equalled for some time. In his address, Dr. Green pointed out that fourteen of the class were ex-servicemen, many of whom had been forced to interrupt their studies at the beginning of the war and re- turned years later to complete their profes- sional education. As a parting message to the graduating class, Dr. Green said, The Massachusetts School of Optometry has rendered an educational service to you young men by providing you with a basic formula for studying, analyzing, and thinking problems through to their logical conclusions. You have been given a thorough and carefully planned course of instruction in optometry. Our obligation to you, however, does not end with your graduation. Rather, we feel a sense of responsibility for your ulti- mate success in the practice of the science and art of optometry . Dr. Bradly is guest speaker Dr. G. Edward Bradley, optometrist of Somerville, Mass., a member of the Board of Trustees of the school, was the guest speaker of the afternoon. Dr. Bradley stressed the re- lationship that exists between the art and the science of optometry. The young graduate, he declared, has received a thorough foundation in the Jciezzce. but development of the arf of optometry can come only with the experience of actual practice. One of the highlights of the exercises was the presentation of awards. This was presided over by Dr. Frederick E. Farnum, chairman of the Faculty Committee on Awards. The awards were made as follows: Faculty Award-for the highest average for the course, to DAVID YORRA. fofepb Scanlon Memorial Azz'ara'-pre- sented by the Omega Epsilon Phi Fraternity on the basis of scholarship, clinical proficiency, and school service, to BERNARD POTVIN.

Golden Jubilee Heralds Bright Future for Optometry By RAYMOND Ross The location could not have been better chosen nor the weather more ideal for the Golden jubilee celebration of the American Optometric Association, held at the Hotel Chelsea, Atlantic City, New jersey, june 22- 25. The famous New Jersey seashore resort has everything to offer for such an occasion and gave forth with the bountiful hospitality and exciting attractions for which it has long been duly renowned. Sunning on the silvery sands, deep-sea lish- ing, and other Atlantic City attractions were very tempting during the day, but neverthe- less the business meetings, exhibits, and educa- tional program were very well attended. The convention marked a milestone in the profession of our choice. A. O. A. officers are working with untiring effort to give Optometry its deserved position among the professions, and judging from the industry and zeal with which they performed their duties, the next decade will see Optometry taking strides which only a few short years ago were thought im- possible. Special mention is due the educational com- mittee, headed by Dr. Phillip Jackman of Hackensack, N. Ll., for its unusual manner of presenting the educational program, and for seeing that all lectures ran according to schedule. M. S. O. was very well represented on the lecture platform with Dr. Foster Namias speaking on The Proper Handling of Multi- Focal Lens Problems and Dr. Louis Wekstein on Implications of Abnormal Psychology in Clinical Optometry. Frank Kozol acted as Dr. Wekstein's subject demonstrating the ef- fect of hypnosis on vision. The high spot of the business sessions was the reelection of Dr. Edmund F. Richardson of Hollywood, Calif., as president of the A.O. A. Dr. Richardson has continually ex- Page Six hibited his concern for the student of optomet- ry through his work of the past year. In the presidentis report he told of plans for assimi- lating new graduates into professional opto- metry and said, There is little time remaining to help the students, and it behooves all to heed the plans of the Department of Assistance to Graduates. We will take any plan that will work for the advantage of the student, opto- metry, and the public. Also of interest to students was thelaunch- ing of the American Optometric Foundation as a means of raising funds and obtaining endow- ments to further professional education and research, to help deserving students and new licensees, and generally to advance the stan- dards of training and practice-1' It will mean the broadening of educational opportunities for deserving students. The Mass. School of Optometry was singled out for praise by Dr. james A. Palmer, Direc- tor of the Department of Ethics and Econo- mics, for its vigorous program in that impor- tant phase of our work. More schools are expected to follow suit. Several of the M. S. O. student body, alumni, and faculty members attended the convention. Drs. Green, Namias, and Wekstein represented the faculty. Al Golob, Harold Goren, Frank Kozol, and your reporter were student guests of the convention and returned with stories which will entertain our grandchildren in years to come. Among the recent graduates who took part in the activities were Drs. Nicholas Nicolosi '43 of Lawrence, Mass., Charles Bowman '43 of Waltham, Mass., and Eleanor Fuschetti '45 of Boston. The pleasant weather prevailing drew the throngs of optometrists to the numerous acti- vities on the boardwalk. Riding on the famous rolling chairs was a popular pastime.

Convention The Rhode Island Society of Optometry will hold its annual convention on September 21-22 at the Narraganset Hotel, Providence. Dr. Carl W. Lange of St. Louis, Mo., will be the main speaker and his subject will be Squir1t, Am- blyopia, Hyperopia, Myopia, Suppression, Fu- sion, and Stereopsisf' Demonstrations will be made upon various patients that will be pre- sent for that purpose. Students of Optometry have been invited to attend the convention without payment of the registration fee. There will be a fee of five dollars for the banquet, entertainment, and dancing which will close the assembly. Qaomffzegclfliaa In recent months, many Optometric leaders have expressed deep concern for future stand- ards of Optometric practice. This concern has been justified, for the unparalleled increase in registration in the nation's Optometric colleges will, within a year or two, create tremendous problems as to the allocation of new practi- tioners. . Wliat the American Optometric Association is working to prevent, of course, is a rise in commercial methods and behavior within the profession. In the past, this trend has been most evident at times when large numbers of young Optometrists were drifting aimlessly about, financially unable or unwilling to open their own offices and exposed to the tempta- tions of commercial practice. Should this be the aftermath of the present spurt in student enrollment, Optometry will have lost decades of struggle and sacrifice to earn recognition as one of the healing professions. Such a conse- quence would be tragic beyond words, for, much as a result of their work in the armed forces, Optometrists are increasingly winning this recognition from other professional circles. The outlook, however, is far from discour- aging, for several reasons. Perhaps the most important may be seen here within the confines of our school walls. As a result of a careful screening and selection process, the present freshman class represents a student body of the highest educational achievement and poten- tialities. These students are the pick of an un- precedented number of applicants. The fresh- man instructors attest to their maturity and healthiness of attitude. Undoubtedly, what is true at M. S. O. must also be true at the other Optometric colleges. We believe that Optometry is soon to receive into her fold an iniiux of practitioners she will be proud to claim. This situation, however, poses another chal- lenge to the admirable efforts of the A. O. A. The greatest aid the Association can give fu- ture optometrists is to provide a profession free from the taint of charlatanry and com- mercialism. How well and how quickly opto- metry meets this challenge will undoubtedly determine her status in the years to come.

Some poor guy has a perfectly terri- lic refracting system, his ciliaries are working line, the aqueous and vitreous are as calm and unperturbed as a citizen with a 95 average, his lens is pure crystalline through and through, and yet his optical system is as phony as a fifteen-dollar bill.

He can't see a diesel-engined trailer truck at 20 centimeters because his retina is lying against the venus sinuses of his occipital bone. In fact, this particular optical system is so far out of whack that it closely resembles the pigskin which the Harvards and Yales tight over more than somewhat come Novem- ber. Of course this particular jawn Q.

Any Physiological Optics student who is not paying two bucks for a re-examination can recognize instantly the magnitude and grave possibilities of such a siuation, since a nerve impulse would need a Cities Service road map to find its way to the occipital lobes via such a lengthy visual pathway. All of you, brethren, will do well to give this case your undivided attention, for, were the nerve impulse to become confused and take a left turn instead of a right!

Makes Faculty Changes, Additions Several changes in the faculty have occurred this trimester. In the pre-professional courses, Mr. Richard Gross, M.S., of Somerville, has taken over the freshman chemistry classes. Mr. Roger Arnold, M.S. in Ed., joins us as instruc- tor in mathematics. In the professional part of the curriculum we are fortunate in having added Mr. john H. Bridgwood to the opthalmic optics department as laboratory instructor. He was for nine years on the staff of the American Optical Com- pany's research laboratories, and when Dr. E. D. Tillyer, director of the laboratories, de- veloped the Tillyer corrected-curve lens, he aided in the installation of the necessary sur- facing equipment. We are sorry to lose a scholarly and genial friend, Lewis B. Combes, Ph.D., who is leaving our faculty, at least for this year, to assist in an important research project at Tufts, where hc holds professorial rank in the physics de- partment. The classes in physiological optics will not, however, be in poor hands, as Dr. Comb's successor is Harold Cline, O.D.

Photophobia Photophobia is not a disease of the eye, but rather a sympton. lt should never be set down as a diagnosis. The name of this very common condition means fear of light . In patients complaining of it we should look especially for the follow- ing: a. Widely dilated, unprotected pupils b. Hysteria c. Inflammation of the cornea d. Inflammation of the uveal tract e. Inflammation of the retina f. Inflammation of the optic nerve Photophobia may vary from a slight sensa- tion of dazzling to a real pain. The condition may be accompanied by epiphora, blepharo- spasm, or sneezingg these are usually reflexes formed by the facial nerve for blepharospasm and probably for epiphorag and by the motor nerves of respiration for sneezing. Another part of the reflex is either the ophthalmic division of the trifacial, or the optic nerve. In treatment of these conditions we must consider the pathology. In the phlyctenular affections of the conjunctiva and cornea, we may use dionin solution to bring about marked chemosis, or Bier's treatment with a suction apparatus. The relief is probably brought about by the edematous inhibition of the tissues act- ing as a local anesthetic on the nerve endings in the cornea. In cases where the optic nerve acts as part of the reflex, pain may be felt on exposure to very bright light because of the pull on the fibers of the iris by the strong contraction of the pupil. This has been demonstrated in these cases by dilating the pupil with homatropin and relieving the condition. Here, although the amount of light admitted was greater, there was no pain because the pupil could not contract. fPleaJe ffzwz fo page 14D Page Efefzwz Mfr cf-W'J ,Zi Your professional standing . . . your future .

A Light That Failed Ultraviolet-Sensitive Eyes Foiled Navy Wartime Plan A recent release from the American Optical Company tells of an ingenious though unsuc- cessful scheme, in which they had a share, worked out during the late war for enabling our aircraft to land on carriers with visibility in darkness. The scheme, which appeared theoretically perfect, was to mount on the aircraft an ultra- violet transmitting searchlight, and to outline the carrier with devices consisting of a fluores- cent button in a spherical reflector, with a special correcting lens capable of transmitting both visible and invisible light? The invisible ultra-violet light from the airplane would pass through the lens and be focused on the button, which would thereon emit a brilliant Huores- cent visible light. The complex curves of the lens would then collect the rays diffused by the mirror, and return them to the landing plane as visible light in so narrow a beam that it would be only a few feet wide after traveling a mile. Thus an enemy pilot, even if he were flying wing-to-wing with an American about to land, would not detect the presence of the carrier, but to our pilot it would be clearly outlined. Tests disclosed, however, that although the limit of visible light was believed to be about 400 millimicrons, some human eyes are able to detect, in full darkness, light of the wave- length fabout 300 millimicronsj emitted by the searchlight. This meant in effect that al- though a carrier using this device would not be exposing itself to an enemy pilot, a plane using the ultra-violet searchlight would be ex- posing itself to attack by any hostile plane whose pilot happened to have such eyes. Con- sequently, the scheme had to be abandoned. ' The glass for the lens was developed in the A. O. research laboratoriesg the reflector at the U. of Rochester. See More, More Clearly For superior standards of bifocal performance and comfort we suggest the Ultex K. K's onepiece construction contributes single vision lightness to a lens giving sharp, clear vision from edge to edge of both reading and distance portions. The straight top segment design virtually eliminates jump of image. , Ultex K is available in clear and four tints. WILSON 8a HALFORD OPTICAL COMPANY 387 WASHINGTON STREET BOSTON 8, MASS.

Page lfnzzrleen PHOTOPHOBIA fC0lZIflI!l6'lf from page 111 In many of the common cases of photo- phobia, we prescribe tinted lenses of various kinds. These should always be used with care, since many of them filter out the beneficial rays and have a tendency to become habit- forming. We find certain patients wearing colored lenses when they arrive at the otlice, and after going over their eyes carefully we find no indication for their use. Still, if they have been worn for a considerable time we hesitate to remove them because there is likely to be discomfort without the tint. These cases should be handled by gradually cutting down the tint until it is eliminated entirely. Never allow a patient to prescribe a tinted lens for himself. If it is to be worn we should do the prescribing, and know just why and what kind to use. One last suggestion is that no colored lens should be worn unless the surfaces are accu- rate. Unless for a very short time only, such as while looking at an eclipse, we should never permit our patients to wear a ten-cent plastic glass.

To some extent, this reminds one of the drug store clerk who hands out patent medicines. Advertising to the public by manufacturers, in- dividually or collectively, can do much good but such advertising usually strongly stresses the product and the maker's name. This is to be expected.
