The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness cautions us to take the necessary steps to eliminate straining of the eyes, as, such a condition can raise havot with our health and beauty, and, may result in partial blindness.

Symptoms of eye strain ¡are these: (1) Discomfort from use of the eyes for near vision. (2) Dis- comfort when looking sharply at any object either at work or when reading for a considerable length of time. (3). Dimness of vision. coming on after much use of the eyes.

(8) An occasional tricide of tears over the eyelashes while reading or working. (9) Itching of the margin of the lids.. (10) Burning sensation about the eye and some- times redness along the margin of the lids.
