No person in the world ever lived to the age of 55 who did not at some time need glasses. It might be during school years, or 1t might be in middle life, or it might be all the time. Of course, a good many live that long without wearing them, but they ought to, just the same. Their eyes w:uld be stronger and better all of their lives for doing 90.
