SHORT SIGHT—LONG LIFE
In your eyes you carry signs which tell how many years of life you may expect. A scientist claims that by examining a middle-aged person’s eyes he can tell the approximate date of his or her death. The elasticity of the “lens” of the human eye frequently diminished at about the age of 50, he explains, and the “owner” becomes long-sighted. If a patient is examined at this period it is possible to tell, from the degree of change in vision, how many years he has to live. Those in whom long-sightedness does not appear till late in life have many years before them, according to this' theory.
