A. O. A. CONVENTION tC0f1fiz11n-if from page 61 evening the members went to the Steel Pier, where Ted XVeems and his famous orchestra supplied the music for dancing. Among the other social events were the Congress banquet, floor show and entertainment, luncheons, and informal parties. The 1948 convention will be held in San Francisco to start the A. O. A. rolling on its second half-century of progress. Jubilee Jots ff-lpofngief to Mae Topuzj Univis was the favorite host at the Chelsea all during the convention. Their very congenial representatives, Roy Marks, Frank Haney, Ed Margeson, and Bill Nugent, kept everybody happy. Dr. Mandy Manderville of Fort Worth, Fla., had the boys entranced until the wee hours with his stories about the pioneer days of Optometry. . . Dr. Richardson seemed to be everywhere at once. . . Hal Goren gets our nomination for being the soundest sleeper. . . . What Al Golub thought was a tomato at the Victory Optical Co. party turned out to be a red hot pepper. Whoomll . . . We thought that Dr. Namias would have to have a late-slip at his own lecture. He was out looking for a blackboard, which the educa- tional committee had failed to provide. Frank Kozol almost had some of the old- timers believing some of his original theories. . . . Then he took another stroll along the boardwalk. . . Goren was turning over on the other side. Chuck Bowman was seen cutting a pretty rug to Ted Weems music. . . Bill Nugent must have a liking for Sunrise Serenade . . . Goren starts to open one eye. FAMILIAR FACES: Charlie Laughner of A. O.'s Boston Office was there. . . Mr. Frut- kin of Suffolk Optical made the trip with Gerry's Mom. With such a varied and extensive program not a complaint was registered - except - you guessed it-Goren didn't get enough sleep. Page lfnzzrleen PHOTOPHOBIA fC0lZIflI!l6'lf from page 111 In many of the common cases of photo- phobia, we prescribe tinted lenses of various kinds. These should always be used with care, since many of them filter out the beneficial rays and have a tendency to become habit- forming. We find certain patients wearing colored lenses when they arrive at the otlice, and after going over their eyes carefully we find no indication for their use. Still, if they have been worn for a considerable time we hesitate to remove them because there is likely to be discomfort without the tint. These cases should be handled by gradually cutting down the tint until it is eliminated entirely. Never allow a patient to prescribe a tinted lens for himself. If it is to be worn we should do the prescribing, and know just why and what kind to use. One last suggestion is that no colored lens should be worn unless the surfaces are accu- rate. Unless for a very short time only, such as while looking at an eclipse, we should never permit our patients to wear a ten-cent plastic glass.

To some extent, this reminds one of the drug store clerk who hands out patent medicines. Advertising to the public by manufacturers, in- dividually or collectively, can do much good but such advertising usually strongly stresses the product and the maker's name. This is to be expected. Wliere advertising is used by manufacturers to build up public preference for branded prod- ucts it often works to the detriment of the pro- fessional practitioner-men who are qualihed through training and experience to prescribe for the patient. We hope that our views coincide with your own, reader. GE OPTTCAL COMPANY WASHINGTON STREET BOSTON S, MASSACHUSETTS Suppliers Only To Optometrists and Opticians.
