ON EYE TROUBLE I
tbout 75 par cast of City PopuU. I
tion? Suffer From Som Form
?f Dafactiv* Sight.
It is surprising that such an im- I
portant matter as good eyesight I
should be bo often neglected for lack I
of attention that it requires. Sta- I
tistics prove that about 75 per cent I
of city popluations suffer from some I
form of defective vision. Defect- I
ive vision often comes in one eye I
only; in many cases to a different I
extent in each eye. Lenses not adap- I
ted to each eye are productive of eye- I
strain causes headaches and nervous
nss, but the eyesight ia not suspected
as vision may be good.
Dr. Masrow, Norfolk's well-lpown
eyesight specialiat, has every device
for the accurate testing of the sight
and for the perfect flttting of the
glasses, as indicated by modern sci
ence. An examination of the eyes
is made by Dr. Masrow and glasses
are recommended only when pro n
ising beneficial results. When glass
es or spectacles are odered, his
ges are extremely moderat. ? ;
