OPTICAL ANNOUNCEMENT. E A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN THE EXPERT SERVICES *'OP “AN -EXPERT OPTICIAN. MR. WATSON HEINE, G. 5.0.1., D.1.0.C., QUALIFIED OPTHALMIC OPTICIAN AND TEACHER OF OPTICAL SCIENCE. XTENSION OF T IME.

I HAVE PLEASURE in announcing to tlie Residents of Gisborne and District that Mr. HEINE has consented to remain hero until SATURDAY EVENING This Week, and I also desire to sincerely thank all those who have so quickly and generously responded to my former announcement, that Mr. ' HEINE will be consulted at my Pharmacy. QPPORTUNITY IS JJ ERE. As-stated in a former an'nduncement that Mr. HEINE is an exceptional man in the Optical Field, I knew what I was saying arid fully Tealiso the responsibility I was ac- N ccpting in recommending those in' need of Glasses to accept his services. I am myself an Optician in tho true sense of tho word, but candidly admit that Mr. HEINE has a superior knowledge. The Extension of his time in Gisborne is clearly an opportunity to obtain the Expert Services of an Expert Optician. SIGHT NEGLECT. TAKE EYE TROUBLES IN TIME. Sight neglect is the worst kind of neglect. Defects of vision never cure themselves. Any defect of vision will steadily grow worse unless :it is corrected. Rightly fitted glasses applied early will remedy the trouble. Every day you neglect eye trouble makes it correspondingly’ harder to overcome. Because of the limited power of the inside eye muscles eye defects constantly get worse, and, like a stone; rolling down hill, they get worse fas-; ter and faster. There are many, thousands of spectacle-wearers who; foolishly put off wearing glasses as long as they could—thought they; were doing what was right, but who,: after a few days of wearing their pro-’ per correction, and discovering the’ immense relief and comfort obtain-; able, admit their foolishness, and are; sorry they did not have glasses long •before. EYE-STRAIN, WATERY EYES. HEADACHES, NEURALGIA. Eye-strain itself is not a disease—it is the result of a mechanical defect—a faulty shape of the eye-ball by which the focussing of images on to the retina (inside back of the eye) is not perfect. Two little muscles/inside each eye, called ciliary lhuscles, become. overworked and over-strained, and this in its turn leads to head-, aches, often exceedingly severe, neuralgia, watery eyes, aching eyes with a bulging forward feeling, nerve troubles, etc. These little muscles are constantly doing far more than their fair share of work, and this explains why so many people—women especially —are almost constantly suffering from torturing headaches. Sometimes the ache is across the forehead, sometimes through the temples, at other times the back of the head is the painful part—but it .is there, the result of eyestrain, and can be cured by properly fitting glasses only. There is no other way to secure permanent relief. Drugs may relievo for a while, but only for a while. Use the eyes for reading, writing, sewing, music, or any other forms of close work, and the eye-strain, with its accompanying headaches and nerve pains, returns. Properly-fitting glasses—glasses which accurately overcome the focussing defect, and which can only be ascertained by careful testing, the work of tho qualified optician, give lasting 'and permanent relief. Mr. HEINE’S eye-strain and headache glasses give comfort to all who need and wear them. MIS-MATED EYES. DON’T SELECT GLASSES HAPHAZARDLY. But few people have eyes that are alike. An examination of 500 of Mr. HEINE’S optical prescriptions revealed the astonishing fact that only a few out of each 100 were for persons whose both eyes wore alike in focussing power. One eye may be near-sighted, the other far-sighted. One may bo normal, tho otlior defective. Both eyes may have the same kind of defect, but one double the quantity of the other. How unwise it is to try to fit your own eyes from ready-made spectacles—tho result is apt. to be that one eye is poorly fitted, and the othpr pot fitte'd at all—and, of course, the trouble gets worse instead of better. Your eyes are too valuable for any haphazard work. There is only one pair of glasses to suit oacli person, and that pair can only be prescribed after accurate, careful testing of each eye separately. SPECTACLE PRICES. r. HEINE’S charges are in no excessive. They are reasonable, alike to all. As a matter of fact, arc much less than tho prices ged by many opticians who do know the subject of optics half ell as Mr. HEINE. The prices, o alike to all, depend upon the is required and the frame seloctyour eyes give you any trouble ny time in any way you should linly have them examined. An >r trinity such as occurs with this of Mr. HEINE is only of rare rrence. Do not allow it to pass If your sight is valuable ; if you lot see as well as formerly.; if ing, writing, sewing, typewritstudying, or any other form of , wo rk tire and strain your eyes ake them ache, ache, aqhe; if you lot seo distant objects clearly, e an early appointment with Mr. [NE, and have your eyes properly nded to without further delay.
