Show VISION DR. A. F. RICH, member. American Optometric Assa, In my office the surprised statement is often made: "I've got L'OL'O clearness of vision. That means perfect vision vi-sion doesn't it? Then why am I having eye trouble?" The answer, of course, is that L'D L'O clearness of vision doesn't mean perfect vision at all! Good vision is made up of three primary factors Clearness, Comfort, and Efficiency. They must all be present in order to have good vision. The absence of one or more of these factors leads to the common symptoms which brins the individual in to see his optometrist. Good vision is made up of many factors and skills; the eyes must have the ability to focus properly; they must turn simultaneously; they must have adequate speed and adequate span of recognition, and many other skills as well. Many of these skills may be learned just as other skills in life are attained, but all of these visual skills are necessary in order to form a true pattern of seeing. Good vision, then, means a harmonious action of all the skills that have to do with the seeing faculty, and the ability to see clearly, comfortably, and efficiently at any distance. |
