Paul Griffith introduced the program speaker, Dr. Robert
Dickey who is Black Mountain's new optometrist at the Executive
Plaza. He is a native of Murphy, N.C. where his father is
practicing dentist. After the usual education he received in 1974
graduate O.D. degree from the Illinois College of Optometry. y
Dr. Dickey is tall in more than one way. He is tall physically anijv
gives the impression of being an athlete in good condition. Ceip:
tainly having been a varsity basketball player at Carson Newmafl»;
College in Jefferson, Tennessee did him no harm. He proved that*;
he could be tall mentally as he tossed off educated replies to reall£:

tometry. We gathered that this profession of optometry deals witfcy
the range and power of vision. Near and farsightedness are"
studied and glasses fitted to correct any defects. An opticiaip:
makes and sells eyeglasses and other optical instruments. On thK
other hand an oculist or ophthamologist is a physician whCy
specializes in the treatment of abnormalities and diseases of thSjC
eye. -If.
Dr. Dickey used slides to illustrate the structure of internal eyiy
This helped us to understand how vision changes over the period*
of one’s life. Just like the body as a whole has a growth cycle stf
does the eye. The lens loses its elasticity and consequently losiS*
its ability to focus properly. The retina is a most important part ap,
the eye as objects are focused on it. A schematic section of tlij
eye showed the optic nerve which carries sight sensations frorvK
the retina to the back of the brain. Although there are 400,000 or s«j.'
eye nerve cells we cannot see color at night.
C.A.S. cannot recall all the pertinent information given by'Dei
Dickey, but it is essential to watch for high blood pressure asS>“
does effect vision. Those little dark spots referred to as floater,,
are noticed as we look at a white area or at the sky. Yes, we can
see two images thru one eye. Experience, learning and inr;,
telligenee are all factors of sensory perception. -X
