If there is any doubt in your mind about your eye- sight, have your eyes examined. Your Glasses If you wear glasses, are. you sure they are correct? Have they been re-checked within the last two or three years? Your eyes change as you grow older. Glasses should be changed to keep pace with the eyes. Wrong glasses may cause ill health, just as the lack of glasses may cause it. Eye strain sometimes appears in the form of indigestion, nervous fatigue, irritabil- ity, and the like; and the proper glasses should correct such conditions if they are caused by defective vision. Accidents Poor sight causes many accidents, and is a menace to you and to the people with whom you work. Have your eyes examined regularly; take no chances. Our Oculists Do you realize that you have an opportunity here to have your eyes examined by one of the best eye specialists in the city, without charge? All that is necessary is to make an appointment with the Medical Department. Glasses are sold to employees at reduced prices, and may be paid for in weekly installments.
