WIDOW SEES CLEARLY FOR FIRST TIME. WHEN 63 YEARS OLD. Mrs Mary Martin, a Dundee widow, saw clearly for -the first time in her 1 life when she was 63 years old. Born with keratoconus in both eyes, which means that the corneas were conical instead of round, objects more than three or four inches from her face were a blue.
By the introduction of contact lenses, fine' “spectacles" fitted directly to the eye-ball, she can not only read with case but can clearly distinguish objects around her. Mrs Martin never saw her husband clearly. To her his face was blurred, but she can now see her two sons and daughter as she has never seen them before.
