EYES AND LIGHTING

No one OF our five special senses
needs TO be more carefully protected
than that Of the sight. Throughout
practically all of our waking hours,
the eyes are on duty, contributing
TO our enjoyment, acquiring knowl-
edge and protecting us from pitfalls
and dangers. No wonder, with the
constantly changing focus for near
and far objects, that the eye is sub
iected TO considerable strain. This IS
true under ideal conditions Of light
ing and visual hygiene and is agra
waited under the conditions that only
too frequently exist.
IL has been estimated that at least
one-fourth of the population Is more
or less handicapped by some defect OF
the eyes. Among the school pOpula-
ton, from 10 to 30 per cent. need
glasses. The defects requiring this
correction are near-sightedness my
Opia), far-sghtedness (hyperopla),
astigmatism and squint.
The shape of the orbit. or bony
socket OF the eye, is probably the chlel
factor in the production Of near
sight, and an excessive amount or
near work in schools increases the
tendency. Therefore, though the
schools cannot be said to be the I'M
DERIVING cause OF a child's ne'r-
slghtedness, bad school hygiene Will
undoubtedly aggravote the trouble
already existing. Anything which
causes a pupil to hold his book too
near the eyes, or TO assume a stOOp-
ing position while at work in school,
as too fine print insufficient light, or
unsuitable de.k or chair. may result
in the development OF a more serious
degree of near-sigh tedness. An eX-
cessive amount OF near work Will
cause strain in even a normal eye.
A slight decree Of far-sight is nor
NAL in young children, and need cause
no special concern other than tC
avoid much near work. Marked far
sightdness, however, Is one OF the
most serious causes Of eye strain
and if not corrected, may lead to very
| harmful results.
