FEW FACTS
REGARDING
THE EYES

never coserved such a misfortune.
SOME QUESTIONS about the eye :
"Is there danger of eye glasses
breaking and cutting the eyeball?”
Os course this is a possibility, and
yet it is strange how rarely it oc
curs. Many busy eye specialists have
never observed such a misfortune.
The frequent cause, according to
my own recollection, is in golf play
ers when a golf ball bounds back
and breaks the glasses.
• • Will I always have to wear
glasses?”
Those who deny themselves good
vision because they fear that the
use of glasses will make them de
pendent have a wrong conception of
the matter. The people who really
need glasses probably will always
have to use them, but there is no
reason why they should be denied
that extra comfort, or why they
should put off the appointed day. The
reason for glasses is a difference in
the sire or shape of the eyeball from
normal and cannot be outgrown. It
is true that some people outgrow the
need far glasses, but this is a con
dition that occurs in old age, known
as “second sight” due to perfectly
normal causes. The people who have
second sight in old age are • the ones
who probably have had very defective
vision in youth.
Circles Under Eyes
“Are circles under the eyes a sign
of eye trouble?”
Almost never is the condition called
"circles under the eyes” an indica
tion of real disease. It is certainly
not an Indication of poor eyesight.
Some people are so contituted that
they have veins under the skin which
become more apparent because of
too little fat. If the family doctor can
assure the patient that there is no
anemia and the general condition is
good, circles under the eyes have no
meaning except as they occur from
time to time when they Indicate fa
tigue.
Is a black eye serious?”
Usually not. It is a hemorrhage
into the tissues of the skin, but some
times it indicates a hemorrhage into
the eyeball itself and possible frac
tures of a bone. Under any circum
stances it should be investigated by
a competent person.
“Are puffy lids of any signifi
cance?”
They seldom mean that there is
anything wrong with the eyes. The
family doctor is probably better able
to come to a conclusion as to the
cause than the eye specialist.
“What is the meaning of styes?”
Sty fe Infection ‘ .
A sty is simply an infection of the
hair follicles of the meibomian glands
in the lid. 'While they may often be
annoying, because they keep reap
pearing like weeds in a garden, they
are really quite harmless. The con
nection between styes and poor vi
sion is certainly not direct. It Is fre
quently said that anybody who has
styes needs glasses. The only connec-

tion that I can figure out, and I have
talked this over with many oculists,
is that a person who needs glasses
will rub his eyes, and in this way
convey infection from his fingers to
the lids.
“What do spots before the eyes
mean?”
Usually they are simply due to
nervousness. Sometimes they are due
to some change in the eyeball.

NEW YORK, June 15 (TP)—The

Cotnmunist Party. Earl Browder, de
nounced the Republican platform and
G. O. P. party today as the agents

nounce the name of the Kansas

onel Knox of Chicago was Hearst s
general manager for years.
Said Browder: “With a Republican
victory, it will remain only to make ,
Hearst the chief justice of the United
States and the Fascist set-up will be
complete.”
“And then I offered her riches. ■
Jewels, yachts, country houses —”
' But she was young and foolish?”
“Yes, she believed me!”
