| EYESIGHT |
Eye Diseases
Defective vision and diseases of the eye are two entirely
distinct conditions.
The former is usually due to cer-
tain weaknesses of the muscles or an error of refraction,
and can be overcome by wearing corrective lenses.
Diseases of the eye—and there are many of them—are
more serious and require medical or surgical care.
The Optometrist is trained
to recognize various eye and
body diseases, as well as symptoms of certain systemic
disorders, and will immediately refer the patient to a
physician.
An occasional “check-up” on your eyes by a Registered
Optometrist is the best possible safeguard against eye
trouble.
We are at your service.
