There Should be nd Guess Work.
HEADQUARTERS FOR
The fitting of spectacles or eyeglasses
is purely a mechanical science, requiring
a thorough knowledge of refraction and
the eye, the aim being to correct defor
mities of the eye, which are nearlv al
ways congenial. The real science of the
work lies in the scientist’s ability to
measure to an exact nicety the errors of
refraction existing on account of these
deformities. To make these corrections
we use commonly three kinds of lenses,
viz: Spheres, cylinders and prisms.
Using these lenses separately and in
combination with each other there can
be made more combinations—all of which
are absolutely : necessary—than are
words .in the English language This
should prove to the average thinker that
there should be no such thing as guess
work, and that it cannot be done by the
old-fashioned “cut and dry” system of
mechanics. Therefore, when your op
tica n or oculist encourages you to buy
from him by telling vou if they don’t fit
he will “change them.“ you at least
have cause to lose confidence in his
ability as a refractionist, for the scien
tific fitting of glasses is farther from the
“cut-and-try” system than any other
known science, and if he cannot fit you
the first time what assuracce have vou
that he can eyer do it? He proves
once that he is guessing at it.
Dr. A. T. Roberts has a thorough
knowledge of everything partaining to
the eve, and has all the latest scientific
instruments necessary for the most in
tricate examinations, and guarantees his
corrections to be as perfect as can possi
bly be made through artificial refrac
tion.
He particularly solicits a call from
those who have tried iti vain to get per.
