ANOTHER SYMPTOM.
Whenever you see a person place the lamp between his book and his face
2 in order to see well you may know that his glasses do not fit him. This is true 5
0 without a single exception. If they did he would see better with the lamp be- 2
hind his shoulder. When they do not fit correctly, the eyes are more or less
2 out of focus and the letters more or less blurred. A bright light shining upon
0 the eyes forces the pupils to contract and in that way cuts off some of the S
diffused rays of light and lessens the blurring. I know of no more harmful 2
2 makeshift for clear vision. The constant glare is ruinous to the nervous ap-
paratus of the eye and the forced contradition of the pupil will weaken the 2
muscles permanently. It will set up an irritation and disease which will be 2
2 difficult to overcome. If you find yourself reading or sewing in this way, you
are taking chances which you cannot afford to continue. A pair of glasses well
fitted will both rest and preserve your eyes. 5
