    From the above tables it is apparent that men with very defective sight have worked at a large variety of occupations. . It is right to remark that, with the excep¬ tion of men employed in clerical work, scarcely a single man included in the above tables used glasses for his work. Thus we have chauffeurs, stokers, carters, labourers, hammermen, with extremely defective vision, in many cases with only one useful eye, working quite comfortably without glasses. It is to be noted that the following conventions apply to the above tables. In the table of ophthal mo metric readings ‘‘A.” stands for against; in the tables for corrections “A.” stands for axis. In the tables for ophthalmometric readings “ W.” stands for with ; <e I.” for irregular ; “ 0” for oblique. “ S.” in the ophthal¬ mometric tables stands for slightly; in the tables for corrections it stands for spherical, and “ C.” in these iast-mentioned tables for cylindrical.
