Protect Those Eyes
Sç By Dr. Raleigh W. Bynum,
; O.D. F.A.A.O. M.P.H.
Special To The Post
S If you wear prescription
ι glasses, they are probably
i made with plastic or heat
B treated safety lens. It is the
I conviction of the National So
ξ ciety for the Prevention of
κ Blindness that eye safety
I should not be optional for
Β those who wear glasses.
Ψ This convition could be up
£ held by NSPB's newspaper
clipping files alone, where
ρ week after week reports from
•I across the country document
;· accidents that would have
p been minor...but turn into tra
5 gedies when eye glasses are
fi broken and silvers of glass
ί penetrate the eye. Ironically,
such accidents are almost
ζ always referred to as "freak"
' happenings.
r uriner corroooranon ol the
incidence of such eye injuries
H has come from surveys of
I ophthalmologists, « · reports
from armed forces medical
: officers, and other sources
"who share the Society's con
' "cern about the problem. For
example, the Massachusetts
Society surveyed their 261
state ophthalmologists, and
received 152 responses.
Of those who responded, 52
had seen eye injuries which
resulted from shattered len
ses, for a total of 142 cases,
within the past two years.
Fully one-half of those cases,
resulted in temporary disabi
lity for the patients; 22.5 per
cent received a permanent
vision impairment.
The efforts of the National
Society, along with other con
cerned organizations and in
dividuals, have been long and
up-hill, in attempting to se
cure shatter-resistant eye
glass and sunglass lenses, and
flame resistant frames for
every American wearing
glasses.
About 100,000,000 Americans
wear spectacles all the time
or for specific purposes such
Dr. Raleigh w. tjyiiuiu
as reading. Most have the
added protection of safety
lenses. Countless unnecessary
injuries to the eye could be
avoided if fill had plastic or
case-hardened (heat-treated)
glass lenses. Also, now all
lensesr,;Q)jifti plastic or
impact j-esistant. Within the
last year, significant advanc
es have been made in the
campaign to make flame re
sistant frames required.
Although eye safety in in
dustry and educational insti
tutions has produced com
mendable results in economic
as well as human terms, ordi
nary lenses and flammable
frames still represent a need
less hazard for both children
and adults. If eye safety is
routinely provided for the ge
neral public, as well as for
workers and technical stu
dents, the National Society's
premise that half of all blind
ness is preventable will come
closer to realization.

After Prison - More Crime Or A New Life
9 napcAn
■ ■ - ■
after he or she leaves prison?
Will he be able to readjust to
living in.a free society? Or is
he likely to fall again into bad
habits and bad company, lead
ing back to more crime and
further imprisonment? Alston
Wilkes Society has been work
ing for years to answer these
questions, and to help solve
the problems of the former
offender.
One of the best solutions to
these problems has been Al
ston Wilkes Society's Ex-Of
fender Project. Since 1974, the
porgam has recruited very
special volunteers and match
ed them on a one-to-one basis
with returning ex-offenders.
The volunteer works to be
come a supportive friend to
the former inmate.
As in any friendship, the
volunteer and client get to
know each other by doing
things together that they both
enjoy. They might go fishing,
to a movie, out to eat, or just
sit and talk. The volunteer
also has the opportunity to
nelp his or her friend witt
individual needs. He may hel[
the ex-offender find a job, 01
an apartment, or get a driv
er's license renewed. Bj
spending time together th<
two develop a strong bond.
Coordinating the activities
of the Ex-Offender Project in
York County and the sur
rounding area is Van Bost of
Rock Hill. He is actively en
gaged in recruiting, screen
ing. and training volunteers to
be friends with former offen
ders.
Bost also does counseling
for ex-offenders himself, and
often finds himself trying to
serve the very complex needs
of former offenders and their
families. He says, "My most
frustrating task is attempting
to help ex-offenders find suit
able employment upon re
lease. Of late our rate is up
considerably, and we have
developed some really good
community connections for
job placement."
One former offender told
Bost that he would have had to
return to crime and more
imprisonment less than a
month after his release if he
had not been able to locate
employment through the Ex
Offender Project. He said,
"As far as I am concerned the
Ex-Offender Project is the
best thing that could have
happened. I was free, but with
no job there was nothing left
but to go back to prison."
Through the help of volun
teers the Ex-Offender Project
helps people like this man get
back on their feet. The staff of
the Ex-Offender Project has a
saying, "To be a volunteer.
