There is no denying the fact that
glasses are bother in many ways, They
often pinch the nose or cut the face. If
you go out shopping and forget to take
them, your entire afternoon is spoiled.
If you wear glasses both for far and
near you have to change glasses hun
dred times a day. There are a great
many objections to them. A good deal
of this bother may be avoided, however,
by having an expert optician do your
work. There are many ways and con-
trivances for making the use of glasses
less troublesome. By selecting the
right frames and adjusting them correc-
ly the glasses will rest easily and COM
OItably upon the face. The use of
chain and hook for eye glasses or
chatelaine for spectacles, makes it inn
possible to forget them. Bifocal glasses
are always before the eyes and always
adjusted for every distance. If your
glasses are source of annoyance to
you in any way maybe can help you
to overcome the difficulty.
