Glasses and Glass Eyes For Nauruans
AN Ophthalmic Surgeon recently visited the Trust Territory of Nauru in the Central Pacific to provide skilled ophthalmic attention for the native Nauruans. His report disclosed that the eye conditions seen at Nauru do not differ greatly from those in Australia.
Supplies of spectacles and artificial eyes, as recommended by the Ophthalmic Suygeon, are being arranged for the Nauruans through the Nauru Admini stration.
The surgeon said that the absence of Sandy-Blight was a tribute to the efficiency of the public health work on Nauru. “In passing I would add that I never saw a mos Quito and only a few flies during my brief stay. Preventive medicine on Nauru is first class”.
