The cause of
atigmatism
Astigmatism is not a disease. Medicine will not
help it. It is due to an uneven condition of the
front part of the eye. This causes some light,
rays to be bent in the wrong direction. Uncon
scious effort to correct astigmatism causes eye
strain, which, in turn, causes headaches, nervous
ness, tired eyes, poor eight and other distress. At
Clinton's yon can get glasses to correct uny degree
of astigmatism. A competent, registered opto
metrist is always ut your service.
