Optometrist Looks Ahead
(N.Z. Press Assn .—Copyright > SYDNEY, July 14. Motorists of the future are likely to have to cope with an array of lights, dials and computer readings as complex as those found in the cabins of modern aircraft, according to a leading Australian optometrist Mr J. A. Alexander, a lecturer in optometry at the New South Wales University, told the Pan Pacific Optometric Congress in Sydney that more attention would have to be paid to the visual problems of driving. Modern electronic communications made demands on people’s perception, and optometrists would have to adapt to meet these demands, be said; they would have to pay more attention to minor eye problems, and teach people to receive and process rapidly-generated information.
