HEADACHES Many thousands Of people
sui, from chronic headaches. finding no
relief either in medicines, moderation in
work, or other remedies. In many such
cases the malady is caused by defect Of the
eye, which can be easily Temedied by the
adjustment of the proper lenses. This diff
Guilty may be so slight that the sufferers
vision is almost imperceptib!y impaired, and
yet, with the application ofthe proper lenses
to the eye, the headache disappears. Head
aches are also caused by il.adjustcd glasses.
The wearer Of the glasses see better,it is true,
but the Improvement of vision is accompan-
led by painful headaches this is seldom the
case when the eye has been perfectly fitted.
l will endeavor to give few symptoms Of
hypermetropia, (or far sight) the patient U.s.
ually sees well at distance but has difficulty
in maintaining clear vision for near objects:
and since the hypermetropia can be more or
less corrected by accommodation, ifthe error
be Of low degree no i'll effects may for some
time be noticed at length, however, point
is reached when the accommodation is not
equal to long sustained efforts Of reading and
near work, then accommodative asthenopia
(Which will be described later) is the result.
This is especially liable to show itself after
an illness or if the patients health has deter
iorated from over work, anxiety, or other
causes The patient then complains that
after working or reading for some time,
especially during the evenings, the type be.
comes indistinct, and letters run together,
after resting a while the work can be resumed
to be again shortly laid aside from repeti
tion of the dimness, the eyes ache, feel weak
water, etc, frequently headache supervenes {;
there is feeling of weightabout the eyelids,
and difficulty of opening them in the morn
ing. When the hypermetropia is of a high
degree, the patient may be said to be short
sighted, because when reading they hold the
book close to the eyes; on looking at the
eyes one notices that they are red and weak
the lids look irritable, and on eyersion the
conjunctva is hyperamic especially that of
the lower lids, the papll@ being frequently
enlarged and the edges of the lids sometim es
affected with sycosis. All these symptoms
are probably the commencement of trouble
which, if allowed to 60 on, may develop into
conjunctvi,is, etc.
Ask yourself do these symptoms describe
my case2
