Thursday, February 24,1966 THE McHENBY PLAINDEALER Section Two -- Page Fit e TE81 Hate 3 IT YOUR EYE-Q Haj^e you ever stopped to think how many of your frientls and business associates wear.glasses or contact lenses? Chances are that more than half 'of them do, for statistics show that 85 million Americans,' sport one or the other, millipn, sport one or the other. Absolutely perfect vision is so rare, that less than one per cent«of our population enjoys it. 1 The problem of defective visionJ- due principally to heredity and personal negl&ct -- has given rise to many "helpful hints J* on the care of the eyes in recent years. Though some are (rue, others are completely erroneous and cause a lot of unduji worry. Let's e xamine some, of the more popular beliefs making the rounds today. Do fcou believe that ... - 1. EATING CARROTS WILL IMPROVE YOUR VISION, This . age-old idea is absolutely false1. Carrots and other darkyellow and green vegetables are an excellent source of provitamin A, which helps produce. the chemical reaction involved" in seeing, but eating therr( by the carload -- or abstaining from them completely --will definitely not affect your vision. 2. READING ON TRAINS AND,, BUSES IS HARMFUL. False, at least in most cases. Most people, particularly commuters, have no trouble reading while riding a train or bus. Th& eyes may tire on occasion, however, at which time you shduld stop reading. £ WATCHING TELEVISION CAN CAUSE EYE STRAIN. Thjs, too, is false. In fact, mest ophthalmologists agree th^t there is no such thing as ey® strain. If you spend many hoflrs at a time in front of yo&r set without resting your eyes periodically however, you can suffer eye fatigue. Should your eyes tire ea £iy. better have them examine by a physician. 4 CHILDREN USU A L LY OTjTGROW CROSSED EYES. Another popular, but erroneous id£a. Crossed eyes should be tr&ted as early as possible, le9t blindness result. The conditjon -- usually due to improper control of the muscles which move the eyes--is usually I cured with glasses, eye dr®ps, exercises or surgery or possibly a combination of those. 9. COMMON "RED EYE" C/jj BE DANGEROUS. This is tnie. Although often considered harmless, common "red eye" caA cause blindness, even de«<h. If the redness is caused b>£a Speck of dust, virus or fflKIVEOSARY SPECIAL I [?YREX» 'OVEN WARE 2 This Special Offer m Z is good from E Feb. 23. 1966 thru E April 30, 1966 8 allergy, there is no serious cause for alarm. On the other hand, it might be due to increased pressure in the eye, a condition that could lead to blindness unless treated properly. So regard any redness as a possible danger sign. 6. NEARSIGHTEDNESS CAN BE CURED BY WEARING GLASSES. False. W e a ring glasses cannot arrest or cure nearsightedness. By the same token, you can't improve the condition by not wearing them. Only in rare cases will glasses alleviate nearsightedness, which generally increases until about 20 years of age. 7. CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE AN EYE EXAMINATION BEFORE AGE SEX. This is true. Children should have a medical eye examination when they are three of four years old. They are usually cooperative at this period, and the ex-; animation will permit the correction of any existing problems before they become too severe.
