AN EYE-STRAIN SYMPTOM
The eye, the most essential and yet the most delicate part^of the wonderful mechanism of the human body, displays various symptons of over-strain.
One of the most frequent yet little known signs is that of pain in the back of the neck. This sensation is often described as a drawing or tense feeling, and is frequently mistaken for muscular rheumatism.
The pain often radiates down the back and to the shoulders, or may even manifest itself in the side. An individual consulting an oculist rarely thinks it is necessary to mention the fact, not thinking it can have any relationship to the eye.
In reality, this pain is present in eighty per cent, of eye troubles, and opticians have come to consider it almost a symptom of eye-strain. Rarely does it fail to disappear with the correction of the visual error.
