Q.—(1) Does working by artificial light affect the eyes? I work
all day by electric light—am a bookkeeper, and suffer a great deal
from my eyes. I have been fitted with glasses, but cannot wear them. I
feel that my eyes, instead of getting better from wearing them, get
weaker. (2) When I go out in the street after working I cannot stand
the glare of the sun, and must keep my eyes half closed; otherwise I
suffer a great deal of pain. Is it so because of my eyes being
accustomed to artificial light? It is not so on Sundays. (3) Is it
advisable to wear an eye-shade while working?—S. S.
A.—(1) Working by artificial light should not injure the eyes. If
it does, it is because you are straining them. If you think of it as
quieting and beneficial, it may have the opposite effect. You are
right in thinking that the glasses injure your eyes. (2) The sun hurts
your eyes when you go out on the street after working because you have
been straining to see, not because you have been working by artificial
light. Because you strain less on Sundays the sun does not hurt you.
(3) It is not advisable to wear an eye-shade while working.
Q.—Can the blindness of squint be cured?—F. C. E.
A.—Yes. It can be cured by the same methods that are employed to
relieve strain in other cases of imperfect sight.
Q.—Do you get as much benefit from gazing at the sun through a
window as you would outdoors? I have read that it did no good to take
a sunbath through glass.—E. C. H.
A.—Yes. The strength of the sunlight is not appreciably modified
by the glass.

Snellen Test Cards
——
There should be a Snellen test card in every family and in every
school classroom. When properly used it always improves the sight even
when it is already normal. Children or adults with errors of
refraction, if they have never worn glasses, are cured simply by
reading every day the smallest letters they can see at a distance of
ten, fifteen, or twenty feet.
