THOSE DARK GLASSES
Sir,--It was with great interest that I read Mr. Malcolm Cholerton’s reply, published in your December 20 issue, to Dr. H. B. Turbott’s health talk, I can quite easily see, layman though I be, that Dr. Turbott’s description of opticians would be misleading and might unintentionally cause clients to lose confidence in their ophthalmic optician. For several years now I have received treatment from both an ophthalmologist and an ophthalmic optician; the latter, who considered that a specialist’s advice was required, sent me to the former. Out of a family of four, all wearing glasses, I am the only one needing thé advice of an ophthalmologist, but we still retain the greatest confidence in our ophthalmic optician. In my opinion the indiscriminate selling of dark or tinted glasses, without a prescription from one of the above, should cease. A large percentage of the people seem to use "blackouts" instead of glasses tinted to remove all tiring glare, but in no. way interfering with either vision or natural landscape colour-
