Falling Eyesight After Fifty
As we get to fifty and beyond, most of us note that our vision is not
so keen as it once was. Eyesight, ths most precious of our senses, seems
also to be the most vulnerable to the ravages of time. Perhaps the earlier
changes in vision are more annoying than worrisome. But with increas¬
sight may end in blindness.
This is an unnecessary fear in
a vast number of cases, according
to Dr. Arthur J. Bedell of Albany,
N. Y. One of the most frequent
causes of failing sight in people
over fifty is a condition called
“senile macular degeneration,” he
says—and this definitely does not
lead to blindness.
Early Signs
“An afflicted person first no¬
tices that reading, writing and
other near use of the eyes is more
difficult and that a change of
glasses does not help,” writes Dr.
Bedell. “Often one eye is involved
weeks or even months before the
other, and unless the patient is a
keen observer the disease may be
far advanced by the time he seeks
help because a similar change has
started in the second eye. ... The
most significant symptom is a dark
spot before the eye or eyes, which
increases in size.”
This "degeneratio-n” is, unfor¬
tunately, simply a penalty of age.
It can’t be “cured,” as an infec¬
tion might be, with any of the
wonder drugs. “After the sight is
once reduced, it is never restored,”
says Dr. Bedell. Early treatment
with a drug such as potassium io¬
dide may, however, “retard the
'estructiv* process.” It is helpful.
Two dimes
out of
every dollar
IT DOESN’T seem to be a consequential sum; but
dimes add up — to more than $26*4 million, the
Georgia Power Company’s tax bill for last year.
You see, 20 cents of every dollar the company
receives in payment for electric service goes for
local, state and federal taxes.
In fact, taxes are our largest single item of ex¬
pense. In 1958 they exceeded our operating pay¬
roll by 30 per cent.
These taxes help to pay for schools for your
children, police protection for your family, fire
protection for your home, streets and highways,
health and welfare programs and many other
community services.
Part of being a good citizen is paying taxes. As
Georgia’s largest taxpayer, we help to carry the
load.

to keep the general health at
a high level.
Seek the Right Help
Since this condition is somewhat
difficult to diagnose, the elderly
person with eye symptoms should
go to a real eye specialist, an oph¬
thalmologist. This does not mean
an optician or an optometrist, who
are experts in making and fitting
glasses but are not trained in dis¬
eases of the eyes. Non-specialists
may not recognize the disease, and
can mistake it for a malignancy
requiring drastic surgery. So, if
you do not know a good ophthal¬
mologist, ask your family doctor
to help you find one. Peace of mind
alone may be adequate repayment
for your time and trouble in ob¬
taining an accurate diagnosis
