Eye strain is an enormously frequent, fertile and unsuspecting source of ner vous diseases and other phenomena ap parently nonocnlar While eye strain may often and does produce symptoms directly referable to the eye irritation and inflammation of the lids, etc., it is indeed a noteworthy fact the patient complains little or not at all of ocular symptoms. In cases of great eye strain the patient will heartily aver that the eyes themselves are perfect and give no trouble. This is an anomalous and in teresting but a genuine fact.
