Patience and
Patients
Patience and care in our
- examinations make possible
a great gaining of patients
among highly nervous peo
. pie and children, while our
' pleasantly-arranged rooms
soon make them feel at
home and gain their confi
dence, Children's eyes require
, more care and attention
than older people because
the accommodation is more
active. , , We have an in
strument (Retino Skiame
ter), held to the face in a
, manner similar to an opera
i glass, which enables us to
" determine the amount and
character of eye trouble,
, even in a child two or three
years old.
