.............. . - EYES RIGHT? Three out of every hundred primary school-children in New Zealand have defective vision —most of it undetected until the School Medical Service finds the weakness and warns parents. Parents themselves should be on the lookout for symptoms of defective vision: Headaches, blurred vision, burning sensation in the eyes—these are positive warnings that all is not well with the eyesight. Watery eyes, swollen lids, inflammation of the eyelids, styes which do not heal these are cause for suspicion. Other signs indicative of eye defects are the way a child reads. The book may be held close to the eyes; the reader may blink or screw his eyes up. When looking into distance there may be a tenseness, or contortion of the face. When any of these occur, have the child's vision tested without delay. TIMELY ATTENTION MAY SAVE SERIOUS TROUBLE LATER KEEP THIS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
