Todays H e a 11 h , the magazine of the American Medical Association, says that activities that are good for the normally sighted child are good for the healthy myopic childplenty of fresh air, routine play and exercise to the point of normal fatigue, working in well-lighted rooms and eat ing a sound diet. Some cases of myopia are seriously progressive and may h e associated with disease. Fortunately, seri ously progressive near-sight edness is now rare in the United States.
Myopia is corrected with concave lenses. These glasses are thin in the center and thick at the edges, causing the rays of light which focus in front of the retina to diverge and strike the retina, thus making the image clear. In middle or old age nearsightedness may improve slightly because the eye usually becomes a little more farsighted. Rarely does this change make a nearsighted eye normal.
