Electric Lights md the Eyes.
From the American Journal OF Photography.
The nueStian of in ,Ir1 To tn. o,-... e

From the American Journal OF Photography
The question of injury to the eyes from
electric light is being prominently discussed
by scientists, oculists and laymen through
out the country. While opinion widely diff
fers to the ultimate injury likely TO
result from the rapidly increasing use of
electricity, the consensus of opinion is that
light from uncovered or uncolored globes is
working damage to the eyesight of human
ity. In a discussion of the subject a Lon
don electric light journal. in defending its
trade, feels called upon to make some i'm
portant admissions. 1t says: ct lis not GUS
tomaly to look at the sun, and not even
the most enthusiastic electrician would sug-
gest that naked arcs and incandescent fila
ments were objects to be gazed at without
limit But naked arc lights are not usually
placed so as to come within the line of
sight, and when they do accidentally W hat
ever n ay result, the injury to the eye is
quite perceptible. The fiiament of a glow
lamp. en- the other hand, is most likely to
meet the eye, but frosted bulb is an ex-
tremely simple and common way of en-
tirely getting over that difficulty. The
whole trouble can be easily remedied by
the Use Of properly frosted or colored glass
globes. In any case, however, the actual
permanent injury to the eye by the glow
ing fllament is no greater than that due to
en- ordinary gas flame"
