Lincoln Park Conservatory Dr. George A. Stone to Attend Optometrist Meet One of the outstanding conventions of this winter will be the twentieth annual gathering of the Illinois State society of Optometrists to be held in the LaSalle hotel, Chicago, February 13, 14, 15, according to Dr. Ben V. Schoenborn, general chairman of con- vention committee. The sessions will be attended by Dr. George A. Stone, | whose offices are at 1177 Wilmette ave- | nue, Wilmette. Authorities on optometry, lecturers | of nation-wide repute have been se- cured to speak before members of the profession on the latest developments known in optometric science. Years of experimentation on the part of ocular specialists have devel- oped several instruments to their present state of high efficiency and the use of which have made possible cer- tain examinations and correct diagnosis of eye condition heretofore impossible, according to Dr. Stone. One of the instruments, the Streak Retinoscope, is scarcely larger than a large fountain pen, having at one end a cap in which there is contained a miniature electric bulb and reflector. Its resultant hair line streak of light, when' reflected into the human eye en- ables the optometrist to observe the action. of the light reflected, and to exactly diagnose its condition. Its use makes it possible to correctly fit glasses for the deaf and dumb as it precludes the necessity of questions being asked and charts read. These instruments will be on display and their: uses fully demonstrated will be one of the strong attractions which will draw some 1,500 optometrists and friends, coming from practically every city of Illinois, and other states.
