Optical Clinic Reports Rushing
Business Over 22 Year Period


Last year 211 out of every 1000 stu-
dents enrolled in the University took
advantage of the facilities offered by
the Ophthalmology department of
the Health Service to have a thor-
ugh eye examination.
This department is serviced by Dr.
Emory W. Sink with the aid of an
assistant, and has tested the eyes of
over 25,000 students since Dr.. Sink
first took over in 1919.
Freshmen whose preliminary eye
test given during the fall entrance
physical examination indicates need
for further attention are advised to
come to Health Service for the com-
plete check-up including the use of
refracting drops.-

of 175 students per 1000 have been
given the test which ordinarily costs
about $10 from a private physician.
The examination itself usually re-
quires two hours and the use of drops
hinders the patient from using his
eyes for 10 hours following the test
for study work. If glasses are found
to be necessary they can be obtained
from Health Service at a very nominal
cost.
The rise in number of examinations
last year may be attributed to the
better facilities offered in the new
Health Service building. These facil-
ities allowed every fifth student to
get $10 to $15 worth of services.
Any student is entitled to this eye
examination but appointments should

Over a period of years an, average be made in advance.
