BETTER SIGHT Illustration supplied by Electric Fitments Ltd. w?s»£4fese ' . ••• all people who wear speeticles- wereto walk on crutches just imagine how • deplorable the world would appear. It jis due to the very fact that there are so many persons with abnormal eyes that anybody wearing glasses does not attract attention and we do not call him an invalid, yet it is an unnatural state of affairs that so many people need crutches before their eyes. Nature has almost invariably endowed us with a pair of sound eyes and it is our own fault if they are spoiled in early life. Much is being done to promote hygiene in all classes of humanity and at schools, too, in many parts of the world, the welfare of the young eyes of the children is being looked after. - But if children spoil their eyes at home by working under insufficient light it is of no avail if, for a few hours per * day, they work at school under favourable conditions. In the interest of their children parents, should pay more attention ytothei conditions under which they work iuad * these parents should therefore know w the first place what may be demanded of a normal eye without harmful effect. VTbe eye is an exceptionally sensitive instrument that rieacts to every alteration of the light For the greater part of our life we use our eyes in normal daylight. It was thus in the past and it is still so, 'but besides this—especially during the last decade-—we have been using our eyes under entirely different conditions —rin artificial light v '■-■■■ .. Everybody. Jsnows that the power of daylight and that of normal artificial light differ very considerably; but. the greatness of this 1 difference ie really to be seen only when the lighting intensity is expressed in figures. This is done scientifically by "foot candles," the unit of lighting intensity. Well, whilst daylight outdoors has a power varying between 1000 and 10,000 foot-candles, light at night under a lamp has, 'on an average, a value of only 2 foot-candles. These figures certainly give some idea of the enormous power of adaption pf the human eye the sensitivity of . which automatically increases in weak light. However, there are limits to this and if the light becomes too' weak for seeing comfortably, the eye is subjected toabnormal strain. If the eye is overstrained repeatedly it goes Without; saying that permanent damage to it is unavoidable. In this way it might happen that at the age of eight a boy has to wear spectacles, making him look like an old man, because his young and still very sensitive eyes have been overstrained through bad light. ..... A shortage of good light is responsible for the, fact that there are so many invalids who require crutches before their eyes! Good lighting begins with the purchase of good lighting fixtures scientifically designed to eliminate glare, and when used in conjunction with Coiled-Coil Filament Lamps, there need be no fear of the abundant light being too expensive, for a lamp of such sterling quality is also an economical one. As with most other products we use, the best is cheapest in the long run. ~ • . iCU#** 1 ■Ml# - 1 FREE BOOKLET Send for this free book, profusely illustrated with photographs, designs, etc., and learn how Gibraltar Sheathing is revolutionising building construction; . . .'
