It i the complications and combinations of these errors and the varying ants of each that occur in most which makes the service of the specialist necessary to correct them accurately, for the simple errors of vision that occur are in the minority. There is also a fourth class called presibyopsia or old sight. This is not an _ error of vision, but a condition which even the person with normal vision experiences, or begins to experience, along about middle life. (To be continued next Thursday)
