For Tired Eyes

February 2nd, 2025

Nothing is more restful to weary, throbbing eyes than a blindfold at bedtime, best made of an old black silk or lisle stocking. This is not a fancy, but a scientific fact, due to the perfect rest that absolute darkness insures to the sensitive nerves. If desired the band may be extended over the forehead, aiding greatly to free the brow from furrows. This, with the faithful use of hot water for the eyes, ought to relieve the optician of much of his work.
