It follows that the layman often does not know that these conditions are caused by a faulty shape or false position of the eyeball, which condition renders vision unsatisfactory or painful. Much of the suffering due to eye-stiain could be relieved if the one so afflicted would consult the Optometrist, who is now being rapidly recognized by the world as the exclusive Eye-Strain Specialist. That the readei may more fully understand the exact status of the Optometrist and that he may know that he is the logical one to consult when in doubt about vision and glasses the following statement is made. The Optometrist is now recognised by law in 33 States as the one trained in the art of determining the visual status of the human ee and the neutralizing of its abnormal conditions with lenses, while the physician is the medical specialist in eye diseases. There-tore, the Optometrist is the acknowledged Eye-Strain Specialist and the maker of glasses, being especialh fitted for filling prescriptions for glasses because of his enforced technical training in optics as specifically applied to the correction of visual defects.
