Ail physicians are requested to report ig cases of biindness or seriousiy impaired vision to the C.N.I.B., she said, and many of these cases are helped by it. ýd Helps Prevent Blindness Miss Thomas expiained that ýe her work is especially for the p prevention of blindness and that ian important part of this wvork is 9in education of the public to the edangers of Giaucoma, a disease Swhich accounts for 12 per cent of -ail blindness. The C.N.I.B. basI prepared the film 'Hold Back The Night", xvhicb xvas later shown, g specifically for this educationai d work. Eight prints are in use ýr across Canada, she said, and it has i been seen by 93,000 Canadians. ci There are three Giaucoma clinics sin this country, one in Torontd d and two in Montreai and aiso a elaborator 'v in the Banting Insti- stute, Toronto. The head office of the C.N.I.B. reviews 60 cases of blindness or simpaired sight from across Can- tada each week, Miss Thomas -stated, and in Ontario in one -month, 5,5 new blind cases are dealt with. Another 40 cases are rdeait with in Ontario each month 1of People xvho are not actually fblind. Many of these cases wbich do not cool 0 within the field of the C.N.I.B. are referred to Lions Clubs for assistance, the speaker 'saicl. Operations and the new drugs can restore eyesight in many cases, Miss Thomas said, and the sight of some people who have Fnot lost aIl thoir vision can bc saved. Seven per cent of aIl blind- ness resuits from accidents and >she pointed out that parents should be very careful that their children do not play with toys such as peashooters, B.B. rifles and siingshots. It is also important that knives and scîssor be kept out of the reach of mail children. C.N.I.B. is Nation-wide The C.N.I.B. offers service throughout Canada and Miss Thomas made one trip to the Eastern Arctic fromn June to Sep- tember in 1951 examining the eyes of Eskimios and fitting giasses. She had fitted"80 pairs of giasses on this trip.
