IT HAS long been observed that refraction of the eye shows a certain variation with age. The refraction of an infant, as observed by Herrnheiser,¹ is on an average +2.32 D. of hypermetropia and is generally assumed to lie between +2.00 and +3.00 D. Various authors in different countries have presented studies of refractive errors and vision in school populations, of which the investigation made by Collins, Kempf, and Jarman² may be cited as a type. It was carried out on 1,860 school children, and all the refractions were done under homatropine cycloplegia. It is now established that atropine is a better cycloplegic than homatropine, and such studies should be carried out under atropine cycloplegia to insure complete relaxation of accommodation. Brown³ has presented data on 1,203 persons between birth and 51 years of age, and the refractions were done under complete atropine cycloplegia. The material, however, . . .
