Structure of the Eye.

The eye is simply an optical instrument, COM
posed of an object glass 1.-THE cornea) eye glass
1.-THE crystalline tens) and screen 1.-THE retinal
which is the organ of vision. Ia order that any
object may be distinctly visible it is necessary that
perfect pic ture of it should be formed upon the
retina, which is simply mirror covering the back
part of the eye. The form and relative position of
the cornea and stalne, like the form and rela-
tive position of the object glass and eye glass of
telescope, may be automatically determined, and
their defects may be remedied by auxiliary lenses,
or spectacles. These auxiliary lenses should cor
respond with mathematical accuracy to the defects
of the lenses of the eye and to insure an absolute
ly perfect fit, it is only necessary to devise some
means of measuring the relraetive power Of the eye

The results thus obtained represent the focus of

why Accuracy is Required.

1t is important that when the eye is being used,
the crystalline should remain in a passive state.
If an effort is made to read with glasses too strong
or too weak, a constant tension is kept up on the
ciliary muscles which operate the crystalin e. This
not only prevents the full development of the sight,
but it hastens the deterioration of the eye and ne
cesstates gradual increase in the strength of the

d Near and Far Sight,

When in its normal condition, the eye is capable of
seeing near as we'll as remote Objects This is ac-
complished through the accommodatiye action of
the crystalline lens, which becomes more or less re-
factive according TO the direction in which rays of
light enter the eyc-whether parallel or divergent.
When presbgopiG comes on, which results in what
is called "far-sightedness the crystalline becomes
incapable of uniting divergent rays upon the rena
and they would, if continued, meet at a point be-
hind it, In the n,yopic or near-sighted eye the
eongaion of the ball and the high retroactive power
of the cornea bring the rays to focus in front of
the retina. Bothof these results are wholly incom-
patibe with distinct vision, which is only produced
when the rays are brought to focus on the retina
The object sought then in fitting glasses, whether
for near or far sghtedness is to bring the rays to
focus exactly on the retna without calling into ex-
ercse the accommodatve action of the cry staline.
