Tbe eye Is praatioally developed at seven years. Underdevelopment In length means far sigbt, over-develomept means near sigbt; one diameter of tbe oornea longer than another means astig matism, . Tbe attempt to overoome these errors by the accommodation or focusing power, is eye strain; tbis power changes with age, the errors are always tbn same and must be oorreoted with glasses. Therefore, the only reason why glasses should be changed is a com mercial one.
