Old sight, or presbyopia as the
optometrist cnlls it, normally
comes nt nbout 40. Tiio causo js
a natural one. The inner lens of
the eye loses some of its clastic
ity. It cunnot focus for new vis--
inn without strain.
Clinton's optometrist tests the eye
ond then nrescribes n lens which en
ables the old eye to sec like a young
one at close range. It is exceeding-,
ly important to have such glosses
when old sight sets in.
If the letters blur, you close your
eyes for o short rest, or hold your
book or paper at nrrn's length, you
Ought to consult Clinton's optometrist
