Scientific
EYE TESTING

The modern Optometerist examines
the eyes carefully with the aid Of prop
er instruments and prescribes lenst s
for all defects of vision.
In case the eyes are found diseased
the patient is sent to the Oculist (who
makes surgery and diseased eyes his
speciality
Optometry is distinct profession,
and the Optometrist who devotes his
entire time to his profession is more
successful than the Oculist who devotes
u small part of his time.
The modern Optometrist charges for
his professional skill and time either
directly or Indirectly (but more about
this next time).
When you consider that you can
have your eyes fitted at little cost at
home by one that has the scientific
training you can hardly afford to
trille or take chances with your eyes
. by trying to- fit yourself.
