SPECTACLES F. BLINDNESS.
VION is justly described as the most important of our senses, and its loss is ro garded as one of the greatest afflictions to which mankind is subject.
It is, therefore, of paramount importance that wo should carefully, use our sight whilst perfect, and that when, unfortunato- ly, the help of Spectacles in inlt to be no- Cossary, the utmost, care should be takon in the solution of them.
The late eminent Oculist, Dr. Soelberg Wells. testified that he had no hesitation in stating that tho haphazard plan of selec ting Spectacles-eployed by some Opti- cian was frequently attended by eorious consequccs; that eyes were often por manently injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasses, have been preserved for fasta.
