THE REASON
People ask me very often why it is that more glasses are worn now than for
merly. There are several reasons. We are nsing our eyes much more than
our forefathers did. We are doing office work on books, shop work in a bad
liyht. type-writing, sewing "d reading. While there used to be but one news
paper a week we now try to read four or five a day. The eyes are worked from
early morning until late at night. Nature simply won't stand it and we have
to wear glasses. Another reason is because we understand the eye better. We
know the good and bad effects of lenses. We know how to relieve discomfort
and suffering which a few years ago had to be endured. Thousands of people
had sickheadaches all their lives nnd knew no permanent remedy. Now more
than six out of ten are cured with lenses. When we consider how slight a de
fect will throw the eyes out of adjustment it is a wonder that glasses are not
worn even more than they are.
