No Big Problem.
There's not much science to it. This
thing of fitting spectacles requires
more common sense and honesty than
anything else, and we use ours and
appeal to youfs for justification.
Glasses magnify objects, not eyes, and
it is a question of getting a pair yoi
can use with best results and mosl
comfortably. As you grow older youi
eyes gradually fade and the glasses
that suited you perfectly two years ag<
may be impairing your eyes now anc
may be the source of that irritabh
feeling and headache and you can hav<
them changed at very small cost her<
where it is just a smnll side line of ou:
regular business with no extra expense
We don't force them upon you as ;
result of our expert opinion, but put i
up to your good pleasure and sourn
judgment. 10 cents to 5 dollars.
