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 yours for justification.
Glasses magnify objects, not eyes, and
it is a question of getting a pair you
can use with best results and most
comfortably. As you grow older your
eyes gradually fade and the glasses
that suited you perfectly two years ago
may be impairing your eyes now and
may be the source of that irritable
feeling and headache and you can have
them changed at very small cost here
where it is just a small side line of our
regular business with no extra expense.
We don't force them upon you as a
result of our expert opinion, but put it
up to your good pleasure and sound
judgment. 10 cents to 5 dollars.
