The Eye is one of the most delicate organs of nature. From the fear of appearing ancient, many persons will refrain from artificial aid when really needfuL It is absurd, and only aggravates the defect and causes disease of the ontic nerve, which may become chronic, and finally result in premature blindness. The OPTOMETKic treatment not only remedies defective vision, but it has frequently restored the eyes to their proper functions from a state of comparative windness. It is the only accurate method known to modern science for detecting the several affections of the eyesight, which comprise Myoma, Presbyopia, Diplopia, Hemeraloma, aud Chromatopseudopsis. The various eye dieascs, such as Amaurosis, Cataract, Ophthalmia, Staphyloma, Spkcs, or Films on the eye, and any other defects, can only be detected by Mr SOLOMON'jS com. bination of Optometric and Ophthalmoscopic observations. There exist 3an erroneous idea, that when once glasses are adopted, they can't be discontinued. Such is only a fact when non-professionals are resorted to. Donders, who is acknowledged to be the highest authority on the science of optics, says in his treatise oh the refraction of the eye :— " So far from short-sighted-ness improving in advanced life, as is popularly believed, it is too frequently a progressive affection, and every progressive Myopia is threatening with respect to the future, inasmuch that if not checked in due season by the aid of Suitable Glasses, the vision will be irrevocably lost. Spectacles or eyeglasses, if injudiciously selected, usually aggravate the evil they are intended to remedy. Therefore, an oculist of reputation should always, if possible, be consulted as to the choice of them." He further states, in reference to long-sighted people, "that Presbyopia, or weakness of sight, is as natural a concomitant of advanced life as grey hairs or wrinkles. It is' occasionally met with in young persons, and may be the precursor of Amaurosis, hence such cases should be carefully watched, and the advice of an oculist regarding the choice of spectacles is well worth his fee " Mr S. will shortly issue a . small treatise on the different defects and diseases of the eye. Mr SOLOMON, the inventor of the Optometric apparatus, is the only mah in existence of whom the warranted pure Brazilian Pebble Spectacles and Eye Glasses, opTometrically guaranteed to tho precise focus of sight, are obtainable. Mr SOLOMON'S Consulting Rooms are at Johnson's Private Family Hoiel.Mackay street.— Advt.
