October 3, 1925 WINNETK A TALK 9 DR. BERSCH ASSISTS AT FREE EYE CLINIC North Shore Optometrists Exam- ine Many Patients at Evanston Offices Dr. O. H. Bersch of Wilmette at- tended the first of a series of free eye clinics held in the office of the Chamber of Commerce of Evanston Tuesday of this week. These free clinics held under the auspices of the Illinois Optometric society, will be offered from time to time during the fall and winter in communities near Chicago. At the Evanston clinic patients from 3 years to more than 80 years old were examined and given prescriptions. Dr. Frank Wallace of Decatur, Ill. was the chief clinician for the day and the committee in charge of arrange- ments included Dr. D. D. Walton and Dr. LIL. S. McGowan of Evanston. Assisting in the examinations were Dr. O. H. Bersch, Dr. Eric Tavs of Chicago and about 20 other optometrists from Chicago and suburbs. Dr. William A. Mendelsohn, diagnostic clinician for the Cameron Surgical Specialty com- pany, examined all patients for path- ological conditions and local infections which affect the vision. Bad Teeth Affect Vision "Many people have infected teeth or infections in the inter-cranial cavities which react upon the eyes," said Dr. Mendelsohn. "Optometrists are con- stantly looking into these conditions to uncover such infections." Optometrists are gratified at the result of this and other clinics re- cently held in other localities. Large numbers, more than could be accom- modated, it was said, took advantage of this visual survey, said to be the best known to modern science. The society has about 30 clinics in as many towns booked for the coming fall and winter. The plan provides for a thorough examination at each clinic by seven or eight optometrists, each qualified to participate in a definite part of the examination, and definitely determine the cause of eye strain and faulty vision. After an examination each person will be given a record card indicating all irregularities found and a prescription for lenses to relieve eye strain, if such is required. All expenses incurred in this program are borne by the Illinois State Society of Optometrists and examinations, advice and prescriptions are free to the public. Dates and places of the clinics will be announced later by Dr. B. U. Schoen- born of Chicago, chairman of the pub- lic information committee of the so- ciety. Open N. U.
