The advantages Of these Speotacles over all
others
LIST. The only true Lens known, being perfectly
free from chromatic light, so well known to be
the cause of injury to the vision, and which
makes the change from Spectacles to Glasses of
stronger power so often required while both near
and distant objects are seen with equal facility
through the same Glasses,
I'd Can be worn with perfect ease for any
length of time at one sitting, giving astonishing
clearness of vision, particularly by candle or
other artificial light-comfort to the spectacle
wearer hitherto unknown.
Sd. Change of Spectaces or Glasses of stronger
magnifying power in most cases never required,
should the defect arise from age, disease, or pre-
mature decay-thus securing to the patient good
sight during life.
4th. When the eyes ache or pain through the
action of bright light, such as is reflected from
snow, sunny weather, white paper, and in read
ing, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored bodies,
these Lenses, by softening the rays, effect most
agreeable sensation and perfect cure.
5th. In all nervous affections of the eye, caus-
ing dull and startling pains in the eye ball or
temple, appearance Of luminous and dark spots in
the atmosphere, aching feeling like sand in the
eye, the disturbed nerves are quieted, soothed
and entirely restored.
9Th Ground by peculiar machinery got up at
great cost, automatically calculated expressly
for the manufacture of this Lens, so as to produce
it with the true spherical accuracy. and its focus
is at the exact centre, point of vital Importance,
and which no other Lens possesses.
18th. Proof of superiority over the old kind of
spectacles. They are used exclusively at all the
hospitals for diseases of the eye in New York and
elsewhere. l..
