And the Necessity of Giving the Eyes Proper Care ; and Attention. MR. RUSSELL, 'Qualified OPHTHALMIC OPTICIAN, of Queen .Street. Auckland, is now .visiting. Gisborne again and may be Consulted .<• at'llis New Rooms at Lawrie’s Pharmacy; As Mr. Russell was kept exceedingly busy during bis last®visit here. Intending Clients should make an Early Appointment with Ml - . I. ’Brarmvell, Proprietor. Sight-testing is the work of a specialist; it cannot be learnt In a few 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. ■ • . - .r Mr. Russell is an expert with the Retinascope.. J3y means of this little* device a ray of light is reflected into tlio eye and the whole interior is thus revealed in ii magnified form to Mr. Russell, whoso 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 liis case, fits them on the patient, whose sight is at once perfectly restored. The prescription is then registered and the order for grinding the written out for the work-room. It is all done so quickly, that the’ patient is amazed at the result. This is the method of sight-testing now ini use in leading of the’world. The old fatiguing method .of. using charts hung om the wall, asking the patient to read the printed lines of ; graded type, and trying on lens after lens until the patient is eye.wearyail that has 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 ;> surgeon, and lie advises the patient accordingly. The youngest child can ho as successfully tested by Mr. Russell as any adult, because bis diagnosis does not depend upon the patient’s answers to numerous questions. Mr. Russeii is an exceptional man in the optical field.' He has -devoted his life to the science of Optics and for 26 years has done no other workHe has been associated with some of the foremost eye specialists in England and for 16 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 glasses, hut who keep putting it off as long as possible, which is a grave mistake. A few minutes in Mr. Hassell's rooms and a small expenditure, on glasses would add immensely to their enjoyment in life, and perhaps prevent premature semi-blindness. CONSULT MR.
