this as the beginning OF the end.
He can't even have the fun of sit
ting in the corner and reading his
newspaper or his books TO himself,
pr so he thinks.
This despair would have been
quite appropriate in the middle
ages, but not in our modern day. l
suppose the department Of medi-
zine known as ophthalmology,
which deals with disease of the
eyes, is the most scientific branch
of practice. In the field of cataract
it has attained especially brilliant
successes.
Birch-Hirschfeld, drawing sta
tistics from the files of several
thousand unsolicited cases in a
number Of clinics finds that in
treated cataract cases 95 per cent
had afterwards vision Of 20/60 or
better: rs per cent had vision be-
tween 20i20 and 2O/40, and so
percent had perfect vision Of
2O/20. So the prospect is by no
means as dreary as it may seem
at first.
Meaning Of Cataract
A cataract is, as the term is
most commonly employed by ply
sicians, a blurring, or opacity, of
the lens of the eye. Most Of them
occur in elderly people, although
one form occurs in very young
children, in fact can be seen at
birth, the congenital cataract. But
this is a special type.
What causes the usual type Of
cataract in the older person is un-
known. One cheerful oculist writes
that it should be considered no
more abnormal than graying hair
to which it bears more than a
superficial resemblance. Personal
ly hope all my senile changes will
be confined to my hair, as they
have up to now. (Well, nearly all,
my old friend DR.. Adrian Gibbs
adds).
The important fact for those in
the cataract age TO know is that
they should not let the condition
go on indefinitely. They are apt,
as ! said above, to be very dis
couraged when vision begins 10
dim, and shy about admitting it.
Thus they put off visits to a doctor
and when a cataract has existed
a long time it does further damage
TO the eye, and vision is irrepar-
ably impaired,
The comparison Of the eye TO the
camera is always apt because the
eye was the inventors model for
the camera. The retina corre-
sponds to the sensitive plate on
which the image is recorded. The
lens Of the eye is the same as the
lens of the camera and that is
what becomes opaque in the case
Of cataract.
Early Treatment Important
II cataract in a human eye Is
allowed to go on long enough the
retina also degenerates. Just as
the films for your camera do: you
will notice that a roll of film is
labelled to the effect that you muct
expose it before such and such a
date: the comparison holds.
The early symptoms Of cataract,
the way the patient can recognize
it, depends on where the opacity
begins. If it begins in the middle
Of the lens, the vision will rapidly
become very bad, which is really a
piece Of good luck because it sends
the patient TO a doctor early. Opac-
ity beginning around the edge tf
the lens brings blurring at tie
periphery Of vision. VI
Other signs are that glasses sud-
denly become too weak or too
strong. The latter phenomenon is
popularity known as second sight
and the person is able to discard
his glasses and read without them.
This may seem like great good luck
TO him, but it should really indicate
