SPECTACLES V. BLINDNESS. Vuros is justly described as the most.. important of our senses, and its loss is re- garded as one of the greatest afflictions to which mankind is subject.
It is, therefore, of paramount importance that we should carefully usa our sight whilst perfect, and that when, unfortunato- ly, the help of Spectacles in felt to be ne- cessary, the atmost care should be taken in the sauction of them.
The late ominent Oculiat, Dr. Soulborg Wells, tubified that ho had no hesitation in stating that the haphazard plan of sotes- ting Spectacles-employed by some Opti- aims was frequently attended by serious consequences; that eyes were often por mapantly injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasses, have been preserved for years.
