Cne Who Is Versed in Optics Explains the Tendency of th* People to Poor Eyesight. c A few generations more and the un .pectacled American will be a rarity! Such is the startling prophecy of Dr. Louis H. Matthez, of New York. So rapid is the increase in the number of persons who wear glasses that, if his theory is correct, in the near future oculists' offices will be as numerous and necessary as drug stores. "More eyes are injured by the injudici ous use of glasses and haphazard meth od, employed In getting them than by any other known cause," said Dr. Matthez, when asked for the explanation of his theory. "There is nothing so sim ple yet seeming to be clothed in so much mystery as eyes and glasses. Still, peo ple go ahead heedlessly j and recklessly tampering with the precious gift of sight, buying spectacles and wearing them just they would their hats, boot! or clothes. »"ui. "Twenty years ago, our fathers and mothers would go to their first class Jeweler or spectacle seller and purchase a well mounted pair of good glasses, with which they could see best, most na turally, comfortably and easily. The goods would be sold on their merits, and in nine cases out of ten the uninfluenced Judgment of the wearer would be the best doctor as to their suitability. To day the case either falls into the hands of some inexperienced eye specialist who has taken up the adjustment of glasses as an adjunct to his medical treatment of the eye, or , perhaps, a socalled 'graduate optlcan.' . . ' , "To these tw» features we are indebted THE ST. PAlJi> GLOBE, SUNDAY, JULY 16, 1899. for the coming race of spectacled people. I An oculist used to be one who, after the I study of medicine, first devoted a num ber, of years to its general practice, and then, knowing all the general patholo gical conditions in connection with the entire body, would become an ophthal mic surgeon, treating diseases of the eye. "At the present time oculists are made to order at once, with spectacle adjust ment attachment the main feature of support. The opticians not to be outwitted, established a factory grind system of men called 'graduate opticians.' If a country jeweler would buy a bill of goods or pay for a course he could come into their establishment and they would make him a D. R. (doctor or refraction), di ploma Included. Returning to his coun try town a 'graduate,' he would fit the whole community to specs. So, in like manner, the enterprising, money desiring physician in the interior can visit the city and be sent home an 'oculist' .ln thirty or sixty days. :."- -"I had one of these good men bring a lS^___ .to me several months ago. A Physician in good standing where he r<»- sided, had come on for Information how to treat eyes and fit glasses—a man sixty years of age. He i took his thirty or sixty days' course, and no doubt by this time all the farmers in his vicinity are ploughing crooked furrows with mis fitted glasses. Fi ;.-' r* " "The majority of the human family are born with unimpaired eyesight. This remains so In such cases until the age of thirty-eight or forty, when thes sight be comes defective from natural - causes. Congenital defects, such as persons are born with, are called, omitting. medical term's, nearsightedness, j J farsightedness, or that condition of irregularity in the curvature of the front part of the eye wherein one meridian is perfect and Its opposite angle is imperfect.* Another condition requiring glasses. is .weakness of the ciliary process -muscles, which seem to give out when the eye. are used for any consecutive purpose,a such as reading, writing, or any other close work. The letters or objects looked at in this case become blurred, wavering, in distinct, -or apparently running together in one black line; continued use of the eyes without relief, causing Inflammation of -the thin membrane covering the eye balls or lids. When this condition of weakness is properly overcome or,' re- lieved by glasses these can eventually be dispensed with. In no other instance can glasses be placed aside when once put in use, for the other defects are deforma tive and remain such. "There Is .till another condition where in glasse are used, the squint, wherein the muscles of the eyeball alone are con sidered, and prisms are the kind of glass es used, correcting such conditions where the eyes turn too much Inward, outward, upward or downward. Other glasses em ployed in defects of the eyes are convex, concave and cylindrical. Tinted or col ored glasses I have not spoken of, for they are supposed to and should. possess nc power, but serve only as a protection to extreme light. "Now, when there is a defect of vision, if it is properly corrected on annulled, tho person receives perfect sight by compen sation for lacking part, and the glasses so adapted will remain suited for a num ber of years. If not adapted with abso lute certainty, the sight will adapt itself to the glasses Instead, causing additional discomfort and the necessity for frequent change. " "At a dinner the other evening my vis a-vis remarked, sotto voce, to me:' Pray tell me is the guest seated near you ad dressing me? For I assure you as she -..'•~. -..- ..... -. -- .-._ - . . .... - -.-.'. . - looks at me her eyes through the glasses which she wears seem twisted enough to draw the cork from that champagne bot tle the butler Is holding.' ._ "I assured her sympathetically: 'No, she ls but one of the spectacle victims, and you have only to look about this table, and you will see the majority ogling in the same way.' ' . . "My friend informed me. after closer observation that I was right, for of the entire number of guests at the table more than three-quarters of them were harnessed with spectacles or eyeglasses; the young, the old, the pretty, the home ly had them on. The woman In question speaking to me, and who had been the subject of our conversation, was trying to look at me with one eye through Its glass, and, her other eye being misfitted by her optician, was trying to look around the corner or anywhere else to avoid the discordant vision the glass pro duced on the retina. "If one day's close observation is given to the spectacled victims the truth of my statement regarding the future of the coming race will scarcely need . proof. It .is an incongruous sight to see on crowded Fifth avenue so many beautiful ly gowned women and well groomed men, evidently sticklers about well fitting things and y»* carrying astride their 13 noses the signs of the most abominably fitting spectacles or eyeglasses. This ques tion of spectacles even formed subject matter for legislative action in this state some time ago, wherein the specialist oc ulist was trying to knock out the optician and the latter the former. There should be no divided responsibility in the exam ination of the eyes and furnishing the glasses." '-•'-'" '"-:'<: "..-. * : Notice Train* to O_hl_o .li, Fond da Lac and Green »«-.
