Tired Eyes.
Family poctor.l

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina. or see
ing portion of the eye, is fatigued, but
such is not the case. as the retina hard
ly ever gets tired. The fatigue is In the
inner and outer muscle attached to the
eyeball and the muscles of accommo-
dation which surround the lens of the
eye. When near object is to be looked
at this muscle relaxes and allows the
lens to thicken, increasing it's refrac-
tive power. The inner and outer mus
Giles are used in covering the eye on the
object to be looked at, the inner one
being especially used when a near OBJ
ject is looked at. 1t Is in the three
mentioned that the fatigue is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far
distant objects. The usual indication OF
strain Is a redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening congessed state of
the inner surface, accompanied by
some pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS
indicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other
cases the true remedy is to massage the
eye and its surroundings, so far as may
be, with the hand in cold water.
