Show ARTIFICIAL RUBBER EYES MAY BE MADE By International News Service. LONDON, May 11. A new and ingenious in-genious kind of artificial eye may be adapted for blinded soldiers in England shortly. It is the Invention of a Frenchman French-man whom Sir Arthur Pearson, the founder of St. Dunstan's hostel, met in Paris recently. "It is made with rubber and has an enamel front." Sir Arthur explained "The war has brought some advance In opthalmlc surgery, but more In tho direction di-rection of adapting the sockets for artificial arti-ficial eyes than in the saving of the sight although surgical skill has preserved the sight of some men who otherwise would be blind. "The reason is that in two-thirds of the cases of eye wounds the men have had their sight destroyed and nothing more could be done." |
