"Save Your Vision |
Week" Is Observed
Dr. A. F. Downum Gives
tven Tips For Bet
ter Sight
With this week designated as “Save
Your Vision Week,” by the N. C.
State Optometric Society, Dr. A. P.
Downum, local optometrist, advances
seven tips for better sight in school.
“Os course,” said Dr. Downum, “one
of the best signs of visual difficulties
can be found on the report card. If
grades are lower in subjects requiring
the most reading, it’s a pretty sure
sign that an eye doctor should be con
sulted.”
But to help make certain that no
visual troubles develop these are the
seven rules to follow:
(1) Read with a clear, good light
falling from above your shoulder, (2)'
Hold your book about 14 inches from
your eyes, (3) Alwuys read with your
head up, (4) Keep your books' clean;
a soiled page is hard to read, (5)
Avoid books printed indistinctly in
small type, o: on glossy paper, and
(7) If your eyes ache, or you have
trouble seeing things, have your eyes
examined.
“Today’s school child must read 15
times more than in 1900,” said Dr.
Downum. “and over 80 per cent of
the reading, writing and other school
achievement is dependent upon the
child’s ability to see properly.”
