The Ontario Mobile Eye Care Unit operated by The Canadian National Institute for the Blind returns for its fourth season of provid- ing specialist eye care service to Terrace Bay from October 6th to October 8th. To date, over 8,500 people have received this service. Dr. Roy, an ophthalmologist who has volun- teered time from his office practice in England will be giving complete eye examinations to detect eye disease or conditions which could lead to blindness. "Those patients discovered to have a prob- lem such as cataracts, glaucoma or strabismus will be referred through their family doctor to an eye specialist of their choice for treat- ment and continuing care," said Mrs. Charlene Cameron, CNIB co-ordinator of this Prevention of Blindness Program. "Many eye diseases can be treated and sight saved through early diagnosis. People often do not realize that cataracts can be removed by a simple operation and vision restored." Mrs. Cameron said that glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness which develops from a break- down in the circulation system of the eye, can easily be detected and controlled. "Strabismus, popularly known as a turned or crossed eye, is not outgrown. It should be treated before a child reaches the age of 6 or 7 if the sight in the affected eye is to be saved. This may include patching, glasses or in some cases surgery." The services of the Mobile Eye Care Unit are available to anyone in the community, re- gardless of age, who is experiencing visual difficulties and is not already under treat- ment by an eye specialist. An appointment for an eye examination can be made by calling - Morning 825-3840, Afternoon 825-3776. NOTICE Would Beulah Gagne or anyone knowing her whereabouts please contact Mr. C.
