The first offence in the abuse of the eye is (says a medical journal) reading with a poor light — requiring the ciliary muscle to do extra work to sharpen the vision. This applies to dim light, twilight, sitting too far from the light, etc. The second offence is error of posture- — stooping or lying down congests the eye, besides requiring unnatural work of the eye muscles. Reading on trains is our third offence, the. motion causes such frequent changes of focus and position as to tax the muscle of accommdation.
