It is a well-known fact, and one to which wider publicity should be given, that the average man or woman is either too obtuse or too indolent to properly care for, or prevent injury to, that most delicate part of the human organism-the eye.
This is evidenced by the thousands and tens of thousands of people who attend the various Ophthalmic Hospitals throughout the country for treatment of some eye affection or other, and by the very large number of patients who receive private treatment from specialists for eye affections and diseases that could be avoided, were the eyes cared for in anything like an intelligent manner.
It is in order to demonstrate how the healthy eye may be kept healthy, and how the weak eye may be strengthened, that this little booklet has been compiled.
