Hambiey is aceused of treating cross dominance and dyslexia--two common eye ailments. His trial is a test case for B.C. optometrists. Other op- tometrists in the Vancouver area are said toe be treating the same ailments. . Dr. Woodruff said an op- tometrist is concerned with more than the “human eye,” An optometrist, he said, is also trained to deal with ‘depth perception” and “the visual . function,” RELATED TO BRAIN But R.D. Plommer, counsel for the College of Physicians and Surgeons, argued that depth perception is related to the brain and is not the function of an optometrist. Woodruff, however, said that the eyes are controlled by the brain and that depth perception is measuring something in the brain. An optometrist, he in- dicated, is qualified to do that under the Optometry Act. Hambley’s lawyer,. Roy Jaques, Tuesday -asked that” _ previous . evidence given by: . Inspector -Maurice.
