The Economy of the Eyes (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed guide to the selection and use of spectacles, a subject of great importance in the early 19th century. It was a time when spectacles were becoming increasingly prevalent, yet many individuals lacked the knowledge to choose the correct lenses for their needs. The author, an experienced medical practitioner, takes a practical and accessible approach, guiding readers through the process of understanding their own vision, recognizing the symptoms of needing spectacles, and choosing the appropriate magnifying power. The text delves into the intricacies of eye health, addressing the common misconception that a single pair of spectacles could ââ Å"preserveââ  sight. The author emphasizes the importance of selecting the correct lens strength for each eye and cautions against using spectacles prematurely. The book's insights go beyond the purely practical, exploring the broader cultural context of spectacles and their use as a symbol of age and status. The author even addresses the use of spectacles for enhancing the experience of gourmet meals, a playful and insightful commentary on the social and cultural significance of spectacles in their time. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the changing world of vision and the evolving role of spectacles in daily life during the 19th century.
