'-feSJv The Disadvantages j W Z/ffl" of 'Double-Decked' Glasses ' ■ With •• Kryptoka." WIWMUVai With Old-Style Bifocals

Have you ever trodden on the "step Mint isn't there." like the gentleman in, our right-hand illustration! If so, you krow what a disagreeable experience it is. Ibm unfortunate man is a wearer of old-style bifocals, consequently the lower part of his glasses gives him sigh' that is not quite accurate, heme his stumbling progress. His sure-fooled companion, however, being equipped with a pair of " Kryptok " invisible bifocals, is blessed with complete accuracy of vision, and mounts stairs with the agility of a schoolboy. WHY THE VISION" IS INACCURATE. Wc have explained in a previous article the reason for the distortion in. the oldfashioned ""far-near" bifocal glasses—it is all due to imperfect centring of the reading segment, which is a difficulty that lias only recently been overcome by the perfecting of "Kryptok" lenses. One of the disadvantages that wearers of these old style bifocals had to contend with, when looking through the reading portion of their glasses, was that straight lines appeared out. of position, owing to the fact that they were not looking through the optical centre of their lenses. Thus, when going upstairs, (which necessitated their looking through the lower portion of their glasses), the steps appeared really lower than they actually were, causing them to stumble. This gave rise to many accidents, when wearers of bifocals stepped on and off trantcars, or upon curbings, etc. •' KRYPTOKS" GIVE ACCURATE VISION. With " Kryptoks." however, these difficulties are overcome, for the piece of nearfocus, or flint glass, is as perfectly centred as the distance part, thus ensuring accuracy of vision, and absence of distortion. They come as a blessing to those who have suffered in the way illustrated above.

THE QUESTION OF SAVING TIME. We are told that "to save time is to lengthen life." and regarded in tins light alone, " Kryptoks " may truly be said to prolong the lives of their wearers. In tho past' middle-aged' people who could not comfortably wear "far-near" glasses— they were many—had to put up with two pairs of glasses, one for reading and the other for distance, which they were continually changing. Perhaps it took one minute for them to make the complete change. Thus, twenty possible changes a day resulted in two hours twenty minutes of wasted time every week ; in one year over otic hundred and twenty one hours. Counted by the labourer's eighthour day, they spent about two weeks in every year doing nothing but changing their glasses. "KRYPTOKS" WORN CONTINUALLY. When using " Kryptoks," the glasses can be worn continually, without this necessity for constant changing. With an accurately-fitted and perfectly-adjusted " KryptoK " lens one can see clearly for close work or reading, and, on looking up, objects at a distance are equally clear, so that the wearer is almost unconscious that ho is looking through glass, so closely does his sight correspond with natural, normal vision. A perfectly ground, "Kryptok" lens may rightly be regarded as the finest expression of the optician's art, for it calls for the most finished, accurate, and experienced workmanship, together with special and finely constructed machinery. All these essentials enter into the grinding of Samuel Barry's " Kryptok " lenses, which are to-day acknowledged as a triumph of science over hitherto insuperable difficulties.
