y IV Wwuinx of Glasses by Younn People. Journal of .the American . Me<Hcal Association. It is apparent that more children are wearing glasses than used to be the case, and the question frequently occurs ns to the cause of this state of affaafa. Are children having too hea"j? demands made oh them, or are glas e# being ordered when there Is no necessity for them. I( is un doubtedly the fact that the average Mentioning Names. Abbeville Medium. Not long ago a man came into this office and stopped his paper because , he said it was printing a lot of \ news about the same people and he was sick of it. Now, when something goes wrong with the country the Government ap, points a commission to investigate and find out what is the matter. And the first tHi:-vr the 'contmtssion in \ 'stleate is the matt Who tHado' the holier to see if tl:o holl' r w :S a reasonable holler. ? Fo Wo oppoiuted a eonlmission consisting 01 oti rsei\ to Irtvo-MgaU w ;v this man. We don't have to go out ( anywhere to do It. \\V just :ut in the henee, It' is - *W growth th^t dnmsr^'^Yithe'eyies I?"* most apt to occur. If the stretching of the eyeball goes beyond a certain point, the delicate nerve tissues inside the eye are apt to bpconi" f stretched to an eytent 'which theyi cannot stand, and tears and breaks i occur in them with damage to the sight. These breaks cannot be rem cdied, nor for that matter can the I eye when it is once stretched come back to its noimal size. In very high degrees of stretching, even bl'ndness may result. There is a current belief that near-sightedners runs in families, and this, while partly true, is really an unfortunate misconception. Certain families! have softer tissues in the eye than others, and their eyes stretch more easily to a certain degree of strain. This should only make such people more cautious to avoid strain and does not by any means imply that it is necessary for such children *o he near-sighted. The cause of this strain in the young child is astigmatism. There are other contributing causes, such as a too short eyeball, poor general health, which makes the tissues weaker and less resistai t. and also the disposition of the child,' some children preferring to sit ar.d read all day rather than to go out and exercise in the open air. All these questions must receive proper attention if near-sightedness is to be prevented, but that astigmatism is the principal cause is well known. This word is becoming rather fa miliar, and yet its meaning i.i con< t :I i 111 v n.io,in,l..?.? 1 M..OUUUCI91UUU. .viaov peop'e suppose that ast'gmatisin means a difference in the two eyes, which is entirely wrong. It is an irregularity of the front part or tin eye where the teres should be jym rical lnt are not. This irregularity or inequality of the curves makes objects appear blurred. Certain lines in the objects looked at seem fa rlv distinct while certain others are blurred, and this causes the eye to make strong muscular efforts to overcome the blur and get a perfectly clear image. The strain brought about to correct the astigmatic image leads to stiffness and cramps of the muscles with headaches, and in severe cases to an actual stretching of the eyeball. The surest way to stop the ever-increasing dangers of near-sightedness Is to correct j astigmatism by means of properly I fitting glasses during the growing period. Recently statistics showthat in accordance with this method of treatment near-sightedness is becoming less. Many children are obliged to wear glasses when reading or during the period o' groat- 1 est strain, and if the astigmatism Is of small amount, they can frequentlv 1 fl V flfllHo ?1" ? ~ ' , ?. ?.?./ .UD wnrn mpy have attained the'r full growth. The 1 greatest amount of strain Is during reuding or sewing, or any use of the eyes for close work. It fs .therefore, 1 much hotter to allow the child to ' use glasses daring the growing period, at least, and avoid strain, than , it Is to run the danger of developing i a near-slghtednees, which is a per- < manent condition, and wt?U:b is apt to progress to a point of damaging ^ the visflon. ciiiKi IKIMS mviR" mn ?ui work than formerly-, and among .111 clussooerftic eves of the child are being i:?e?l-for near work to a gr< i'j!r extent**%fean w s the ease a get! rS tton ap(K Inning the growinn period of th< i iiilrt: t<heV*?ier eno lopfe or supporting ih>sue of the eyeb tt does not attain its f >11 degree o tirmne?s -and hardness, and an\ strain vm the focussing muscles ha a tendency to , make the eve! .1. stret* In Tl'.irf str tehinfir of ??? >;. eball is reatlv the condition which 1 commonly kno - i as near-sight 1 liess. and is can cd in most nstatne* by strain in reading.
