The delicate construction of this organ makes it neces sary to use great care in selecting eye glasses and spectacles. It is not generally understood by those depending on artificial assistance for good vision, that it requires as much scientific knowledge to adjust lenses to the eye as it does to prescribe medicines for the human system. Much of the present day eye trouble is due to wearing cheap, decentered lenses fitted ( ? ) by incompetents, or bought across the counter or from peddlers. W e cease to wonder at the magnitude of present day eye trouble, when we think of the thousands who are wear ing such glasses— lenses which change and distort the rays of light, producing innumerable eye ailments and defects. No person should wear a glass unless prescribed by a re liable specialist—one thoroughly acquainted with anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye, laws of light and op tometry. S e e D r.
