Q. While I can see the letters on the Snellen test card distinctly
with both eyes down to the 50 line, the right eye sees double below
that point. What is the reason? J. C. H.

A. While you see the letters down to the 50 line singly and well
enough to recognize them, you do not see them perfectly. Otherwise you
would see them perfectly below that point. The double vision of the
right eye below that point is not due to its error of refraction but
to imagination. With both eyes closed imagine the letters single. Then
look at the test card for a moment. Repeat until the letters can be
regarded continuously without doubling. Practice first with both eyes
together, then with the right eye separately.

Q. I have conical cornea. Can it be cured or relieved without glasses
or operation? A. R.

A. Yes. One such case secured normal vision in six weeks by the aid of
the methods presented in this magazine. Another case was cured in two
weeks. Conical cornea is simply an anterior staphyloma, or bulging of
the front of the eyeball, similar to the posterior staphyloma which so
often occurs in myopia. Both are curable by the same methods.

Snellen Test Cards

There should be a Snellen test card in every family and in every
school classroom. When properly used it always improves the sight even
when it is already normal. Children or adults with errors of
refraction, if they have never worn glasses, are cured simply by
reading every day the smallest letters they can see at a distance of
ten, fifteen, or twenty feet.
