THE VALUE OF GOOD SIGHT; Ancl the Necessity of Giving the Eyes Proper Care and Attention. ./•• MR. RUSSELL, Qualified OPHTHALMIC OPTICIAN, of Queen Street, Auckland, i.s now visiting Gisborne again and may be Consulted, at His New Rooms at Lawrie’s Pharmacy. As Mr. Russell was kept exceedingly busy during his last visit here, Intending Clients should make an Early Appointment with* Mr. I. Rramwell, Proprietor. Sight-testing is tlie work of a specialist; it cannot be learnt; in a lew weeks or months. It takes years of study and many years of constant practice to become proficient, and then only the man with the natural adaptability for the work is an expert. Mr. Russell is an expert with the Retinascdpe. By means of this little device a ray of light is reflected into the eye and the whole interior is thus revealed in a magnified form to Mr. Russell, whose expert knowledge enables him to detect the slightest fault. The use of this instrument requires a special knowledge. Mr. Russell is so skilful with it that he can, with’absolute certainty and almost immediately, tell you what is wrong with your eyes, and the proper correction required. He selects the correct lenses from ids case, fits them on the patient, whose sight i.s at once perfectly restored. The prescription-is then registered and the order for grinding the lenses written out for the work-room. It is all done so quickly that the patient is amazed at the result. This i.s the method of sight-testing now in use in leading eye-hospitals •of the world. The old fatiguing method of using charts hung' on the wall, asking the. patient to read the printed lines of graded type, and trying on lens after lens until the patient is eye.Sveary--all that lias been discarded by Mr. Russell as mere guess work. He uses no charts and asks no questions* He actually sees what is wrong with the eye. He knows at once if glasses are required or if it is a case for a surgeon, and lx* advises the patient accordingly. The youngest child can Ik: as successfully tested by Mr. Russell as any adult, because bis diagnosis does not depend upon the patient’s answers to numerous questions. Mr. Russell js an exceptional man in the optical field. He has devoted liis life to the science wf Optics and for 20 years has done no other work. He has been associated with some of the foremost eye specialists in England and for lb years was a tutor of Optical Science. It is really surprising how many are wearing wrong and ill-fitting glasses,..and ruining their eyes unknowingly through faulty diagnosis. There are also thousands who should be wearing gbits set. but who keep putting it off as long as possible, which is a grave mistake. A few minutes in Air. Russell’s rooms and .a small expenditure on glasses would add immensely to their enjoyment in life, and perhaps prevent premature iscini-blindness.
