Ready made glassed, such as you
select for yourself over the counter,
are always alike on both eyes. Now
then if you have eyes of different
focus, requiring glasses of different
focus to make them balance prop
erly, what are you going to do
about it? Will you take chances
on getting one eye right and have
the other one wrong, producing
muscular trouble which you find out
too late, or will you have your eyes
carefully tested, each eye?, separate
ly, and glasses fitted accordingly?
This method is far safer and costs
no more.
