    Reprint from American Journal of Ophthalmology, September, 1888. THE HARMONIOUS NON.-SYMMETRICAL ACTION OF THE OBLIQUE MUSCLES EXPLAINS “BI- NOCULAR ASTIGMATISM.” Professor Ophthalmology and Otology, Medical Department of Vanderbilt Uni- versity, Nashville, Tenn. At the meeting of the section of ophthalmology, American Medical Association, in Cincinnati last May, Dr. Culbertson read his paper on “Binocular Astigmatism,” which has since been published in the American Journal of Ophthalmol- ogy, vol. V., No. 5, p. 117. During that meeting I discussed his paper, supposing that what I was saying was being noted by our shorthand reporter for publication in the Journal of the Association, in connection with Dr. C.’s paper. The reporter failed to get any of the discussions of that meeting in a shape worthy of preservation, so that all was lost save to those who of Dr. C/s paper, for the limited time, though kindly ex- tended, was not sufficient for a clear exposition of what he had termed “Binocular Astigmatism.” BY G. C. SAVAGE, M. D.
