Ex FAILING VISION Is denoted by printed matter running together and blurred letters—the eyes become Incapable of encompassing what they seek to embrace. Reading becomes difficult, headaches and nau sea ensue and a sort of misery pos sesses the whole body. All this most often results simply because the eyes are not able to focus to the normal reading distance of fourteen inches. Distant objects may b e seen distinctly but when the vision suddenly reverts to some nearby subject the Instantan eous focus of the eye necessary to see it distinctly refuses to operate. This is the cause of the oftlme hgrd-to-un derstnnd headache. Glasses are the only cure for this condition ; neglect means deeper seated defects and worse vision, then eye diseases. To try and fit your own eyes from an assortment of glasses for this trouble will often result in one of the eyes losing Its sense of vision ; eyes are very seldom alike and need expert attention for alike and need expert proper preservation as age advances A momentary realization of your help lessness without the use of your eyes will aid you to a greater appreciation of their worth.
