The average, normal human being has a horror of wear
ing glasses a horror that was quite justified half a cen
tury ago, when atrocious disfiguring spectacles were in
use. But today the modern eyeglass., will ..in ..practically
every case really improve the appearance, if intelligently
designed and made. i
Of course appearances are only secondary to relief from
eyestrain; but if you have to wear glasses why not have
hem add to rather than detract from your appearance.
