I04 ETIOLOGY (e) Unequal vision, necessitating a tilting of. the head to bringvertical objects into clearer vision, may cause a lateral curve. Theschool observations at Lausanne are of interest in this connection, asa steady increase in the percentage of scoliotic and myopic childrenwas found from the lowest classes upward, as is shown by the table.
