ABCS OF EYE CARE
EXPLAINED

Have you learned to appreciate
the wonder of vision? Few persons
really learn to appreciate this
precious possession until eyesight
has been lost or impaired Seldom
is any other part of the body more
neglected or abused than the hu-
man eye.
The Minnesota State Medical AS
ISOLATION lists the following facts
about vision and eye care:
The condition commonly called
tired eyes" is usually the result
of fatigue or over strain Of the
eyes. Other causes include faulty
vision, improperly fitted glasses
or improper use of them. Remem-
Der that a tired eye, like any
other part Of the human body in a
fatigued condition, cannot function
properly. More important, forcing
the use Of a tired eye may cause
an irritation which could become
inflamed and infected.
Additional factors which may
produce eyestrain include dietary
deficiencies, improper focusing of
the eyes, failure to wear glasses
as prescribed, as well as poor light
ing conditions.
Continued eyestrain can result
in poor vision headaches, dizziness,
twftching Of the eyelids and even
physical fatigue.
Most cases Of spots before the
eyes" can be corrected with pair
Of properly fitted glasses provided
the individual Is in an otherwise
good state Of health.
The sensation of seeing flashes
Of light" may be due to a number
Of causes including a disturbance
in the blood circulation Of faulty
color producing functions Of the
eye.
A periodic medical examination
Of the eye viii reveal or halt the
progress Of certain types Of bac-
terial or virus infection which could
permanently injure the eye If al
lowed to progress.
ConjunctiVitis is a common form
Of Inflammation Of the eye. The
Inflammation is characterized by
redness Of the delicate membranes
which cover the eye and eyelid
The surface Of the eye becomes
red, congested and pussy. That il
accompanied by a burning sensa-
! ton.
In the interest Of the conserva-
ton Of vision, the Minnesota State
Medical Association recommends
that a frequent examination be
done by an ophthalmologist "a
physician who specializes in disea-
ses and care Of the eyes) to make
certain that the eyes are free OF
disease and physical defect.

ton, board, room, fees and other

ton. Awards will be renewable for

lor's degree program, subject to
