FEW PEOPLE
HAVE EYES ALIKE.

Fully nine-tenths of those who wear
glasses have different vision in each eye.
Sometimes it's a decided difference-in
others only slight variation. A careless
examination will fails to bring out this
effect-the same lenses will be adapted to
both eyes-and headaches and eye strains
that medicine fails to relieve, are the result.
We test each eye separately proper
lenses, adjust glasses to suit both eyes. and
charge very moderate prices.
