The Jamesburg Record

A Fault of Eyeglasses.

The ophthalmic surgeon in the Richmond hospital, Dublin, has noticed a rather singular effect of wearing eyeglasses of that kind which derive their support from pinching the bridge of the nose. Their weight proved sufficient to displace the lower eyelid scarcely more than a hundredth part of an inch, but enough to cause a flow of tears. Few noses are so shaped that there is any danger of such a result following the use of eyeglasses, but the possibility is worth considering. Spectacles give the wearer a somewhat older look than eyeglasses, but are not likely to induce the trouble here described.—N. Y. Tribune.
