The Treatment of Cataract
____
From "A Case of Cataract," by Victoria Coolidge, in "Better Eyesight"
for June, 1920.
____
The treatment prescribed was as follows:
Palming six times a day, a half hour or longer at a time.
Reading the Snellen test card at five, ten and twenty feet.
Reading fine print at six inches, five minutes at a time, especially
soon after rising in the morning and just before retiring at night,
and reading books and newspapers.
Besides this, he was to subject his eyes, especially the left, to
sunlight whenever an opportunity offered, to drink twelve glasses of
water a day, walk five miles a day, and later, when he was in better
training, to run half a mile or so every day.
The results of this training have been most gratifying. Not only have
his eyes improved steadily, but his general health has been so much
benefited that at eighty-two he looks, acts and feels better and
younger than he did at eighty-one.
