Page 2-A Experts Reveal Fallacies Concerning Your Eyesight In today's scientifically en lightened world many people still believe old folklores and fallacies about vision, the 17,800-member American Optometric Assocation says. The Association explains: to ISO mean* perfect w sion—False. 20/20 means that visual acuity is normal. It does not mean perfect vi sion because good vision con sists of many visual skills including side vision, eye muscle action, focusing abil ity, eye coordination, and depth perception. A cataract is a growth in the eye-False. A cataract is a cloudiness of the crystal line lens of the eye, not a growth. Any sign of crossed eyes in an infant should be in vestigated—False. All in fants’ eyes may appear to be misaligned for brief mo ments. This is usually nor mal, because the child may “turn off” one eye while using the other. If the eyes continually appear to be out of alignment, he should have a thorough vision evaluation. Color-blind persons see only black and white—False. There are a few persons who cannot see any colors, but most of the nine million men and women with color vision problems are really color deficient, that is they can see certain colors.

When properly in stalled and viewed from proper distance, television is not harmful to the eyes or to vision. Farsighted persons have good distance vision—False. Farsighted, or hyperopic, persons may need a vision correction to see clearly at a distance. Reading too much when you are young means you will need reading glasses when you are older—False. Be tween the ages of 40Vnd 46 many persons need “reading glasses’’ because a gradual, normal loss of the eye’s fo cusing power begins at age 10 and becomes critical for near distances after age 40. The amount of reading done at a young age has nothing to do with this. Bass Family Reunion Held A reunion of the J. T.
