Optometrists Are Correcting the Near and Farsightedness, Astigmatic and Muscular Errors Without Medicine. V A person suffering from eye-strain, who at the same time is enjoying the best of health, is often at a loss to know forho he should consult. He does not feel that he needs a physician, but he knows he needs relief. Many people speak of nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and muscular errors as though thev were some form of eye disease, but they are no more a disease than a small ear or a large nose. It follows that the layman often does not know that these conditions are caused by a faulty shape or a false position of the eyeball, which condition renders vision unsatisfactory or painful. Much suffering due to eye-strain could be relieved" rf the one so afflicted would consult the Optometrist who is now being rapidly recognized recognized by the world as the eye-strain specialist.
