fetched, and is not to DO feared SC
~riously.
Nor is It easy to sec what the harm,
to the eyes Is in The case OF moving
picture shows. Tho eyes arc rested
from the glare of daylight and this
rest will surely countcrhalance any
harm caused by watching the rapid
action of the picture machine.
AS to the danger from the so-called
"optometrists.' the same author says:
There are two kinds OF opticians.
The kind hat undertake. to examine
the eyes, prescribe glasses AMI fit them
to the exclusion of the trained o%culist,
and the kind that refuse 10 sell glasses
except upon the prescription of 4
qualified oculist. by p~atroniainE the
latter kin of opticians only may we
escape the dangers alluded to In tho
second and third Items of the forego-
inE list. No branch OF medicine re-
quires more study and experience than
refractien or the scientiiic prescribing
Of glasses, and the expert oculist alone
Is prepared to offer these nualinca-
tons"
The underlying reason Tor most of the
III effects of the causes given above is
looking too long and too hxedly at n
sinClc object without resting the eyes.
Especially Is this true of those en-
gnged in pursuits which require CON
slant reading of print or manuscript,
for tho tendency III such cases is to
bring about Observation-Disclosures.
