1 INTERVIEW
ON THE EYES
Dr. J. W. Edmunds, one of tlie
leading optometrists and eye spec
! ialists of Seattle for the past 21
years, on this his fourth trip to
Seward was asked to tell us some
thing of interest about the eyes,
which are so little understood by
the general public, to which he re
plied: “It is a pleasure to me to
have this opportunity of discussing
so important a subject and I shall
endeavor to use as few technical
terms as possible so the interested
readers will understand. The aver
age eye is no more perfectly form
ed than the average person is per
fect in all measurements. The
fact is that fe<w eyes even approach
I an approximate normality of per
Ifection and there no two eves ex
actly alike in the wThole world, but
the eye is the only organ of the
body that can overcome its own
I defect of malformation, by accom
| modation or strain and use otf the
j ciliary or interior muscles, to pro
i duce vision at the expense of an
abnormal strain and use of an ex
cess of nervous energy or nerve
force stored up in the cerebellum
or gray matter at the base of the
i brain, which serves as the storage
battery of the nerve force for the

whole nervous system. Now, the
nonmal eyes use approximately ten
per cent of the entire nerve force
of the body, just looking casually
into distance,, but abnormally shap
ed eyes, even for distance vision
(and the strain is usually more for
reading) can use as much as forty
per cent of the entire nerve force
oif the body, (above the normal ten
per cent) thereby robbing of ner
vous energy every other function
of the body, viz—affecting the vi
tality of the brain, heart stomach,
liver, kidneys, the circulation of the
blod, producing nervousness, lack
of mental concentration, loss of
’memory and in some cases even
insanity, to say nothing of head
aches, neuralgia, St. Vitus’ dance,
nervous prostration and premature
old age.
If j’oung people could only real
ize that eye strain makes them in
efficient with a premature, wrink
led old age, they would not hesi
tate to keep the eyes efficient and
at rest, but also the whole facial ,
expression at rest.
Now let us think of the two eyes
as two photographic cameras point
ing at the same object in the same
1 instant of time, producing a micro
scopic, detailed, photographic image
upside dawn on the Retina, or in
terior back wall of each eye, an
image about as large as the lead
of a lead pencil, sensitizing tens
of thousands of optic nerve end
| ings in each eye and those two
photographic images with their in
finitely fine details, are carried to
the central commissure of the brain
along the optic nerves and these
two photographs impressions must
absolutely coincide and become one, .
single, clear-cut image; otherwise
the patient would have double-vis
ion or blurred vision or serious
muscular deviation of the eyes,
■which is often the case. The writer
has had the keenest pleasure and
interest for the past twenty-five
years in specializing in the straight- 1
ening of crossed eyes, or deviating
eyes, with glasses only and was the
first practitioner on the Pacific 1
coast to introduce the Dr. E. H.
Hazen system of muscular duction
development which overcomes eye
deviations" or muscular asthenopia.

Now bear in mind that the optic
nerve is a bundle of S00 nerves
