Some Of Them Arc Headaches, Dizzi.
ness and Indigestion.
When a child begins to screw up its
eyes to elevate and depress its eye
brows, to wrinkle its forehead, to
blink, to push forward its head when
looking at things, then suspect eye
strain. Among the many troubles
caused by eye strain are headaches,
dizziness. indigestion and so called bill
ious nttncks.
Eye strain Is really a WEAKNESS of
the many nerves that supply the small
muscles OF the eyes. II there be any
abnormal optical conditions. such as
errors of refracton. found in myopia,
or shortsightedness and hyperopia, or
long stghtedness. imperfect balance of
the ocular muscles and astigmatism or
asymmetrical curvature Of the cornea,
these muscles try their best to correct
the trouble, but soon tire Of the effort
and give It up, when the blurred i'm.
ages Of irregular diffusion are left to
irritate the retina. As one>fourth Of all
the cranial nerves are devoted to the
eyes one can scarcely wonder that
headaches are the result of eye strain.
That backwardness in school work Is
often due to eye strnin Is we'll known
to up to date educators.
1t is claimed by some medical men
that the majority of children who are
rated as mentally defective are not
suffering from weakness of intellect
but from defective sight. that can be
