To See Better
i'To see better," does not always:
mean to see more. It often means
to see with less effort,
A certain eye defect called Hyper-
metropia in many oases does not in-
terfere with acuteness of vision, but
does create as excessive eye strain.
Which causes headaches, dizziness
and nerve strain,
The proper glasses will relieve
this condition and give comfort,
