AN OPTICAL ILLUSION

Drs. Should Prescribe Spectacles

Madrid.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY, JULY 1933.

Protests against the prescribing of spectacles by opticians were made at the Fourteenth Inter- national Ophthalmologk Congress just held here. The delegates sald unanimously that such prescribing should be done by qualified doctors. They alleged that opticians often passed unnoticed obscure diseases which ultimately became incurable. Important advances have, it is claimed, been made at the congress in the study of trachoma-until recently considered incurable and in turberculous disease of the eye. The International Ophthalmologic Council has been reconstituted, with a new set of regulations, drawn up in England.
