EYESTRAIN AND HEADACHE
CAUSE OF NEURALGIA. In all neuralgias there is present an unsatisfactory blood state, and some irritant, and a highly important, irritant—perhaps the most important of all in the causation of neuralgia—is eyestrain. Very few of us have perfect eyes, and very few of us indeed after 45, but people fail to realise how common the condition of eyestrain is zecause it causes them no particular bother, particularly if the error of sight is not great. Eyestrain is, in fact, produced not by gross defects, but by slight ones, and so much is this the case that patients are often indignant when you cast any aspersion j upon their eyesight, and reply that j their sight has always been exception- ; ally good. As a matter of fact, the ; truth is that such patients actually are able to see as well as anyone else, for the reason that, the defect being | slight, it has always been well within [ their power, by straining the muscle j of the eye, to overcome the defect.
