''If the lines on the right hand
letter appear bIacker than those
ON the left you have astigma-
tism,"
Sometimes the pain seems of an
acute rheumatic nature, occurring
on one side Of the head or the
other. Many oculists make the
mistake of associating the wrong
cause with the effect--in their
diagnosis. While so per cent Of all
functional headaches are due to as
tigmatism, artificial light is an i'm
portant factor which is often ignored.
The brilliancy and white light OF
modern electric illuminants is the
cause of many a headache, and per-
fectly normal eyes have been afflict-
ed with eyeglasses when the proper
remedy would have been the cor
rection of the glazing lighting sys-
tenn which caused the injury. The
up-to-date oculist in his diagnosis
viii inquire regarding the lighting
conditions to which his patients
eyes are subjected, both in home
and office-and including daylight
and artificial light.
If the patient works by window,
the fact is of Importance, and must
be given due consideration by the
competent oculist. The hours which
are devoted to reading at home and
the arrangement of the reading light
should be determined. Also the
manner in which artificial light is
used in the office.
