...which the rewards (an average base pay of about $150 weekly) run considerably less than those for plumbers and painters, not to mention mechanics in the aircraft and other industries. As a result, many motorists have to wait as long for an appointment with a mechanic as with an ophthalmologist or periodontist...
Lately, however, questions have arisen about possible long-range effects of Chemical Mace. A San Francisco ophthalmologist, Lawrence Rose, has squirted it at close range into one eye of each of three rabbits, whose eye structure is biologically similar to that of humans; he has caused permanent corneal scarring in one.* In Ann Arbor, Mich., the face of a Negro who was sprayed last March is still partially depigmented; Ann Arbor police have discontinued using the weapon. A Columbus reporter, Robert Mac Vicar, who was Maced in the face during Ohio State University demonstrations last fall, is suing...
...effect, incompletely conveyed by photographs, should surprise no ophthalmologist. It is caused by what is known as "retinal bleaching." When the eye gazes fixedly at the disk, the strong white light reflected from its center falls on the retina, causing a chemical substance in the center to temporarily bleach away. This causes local fatigue, and makes the center of the image appear less intense-a kind of blinding. Thus the weaker light from the disk's edge and the shadows beyond are perceived more intensely than the center and appear more vivid...
Into the Bladder. As for the eye changes reported in animals, Cornell University's Ophthalmologist Dan M. Gordon reports that he used DMSO to treat swollen, waterlogged corneas, conjunctivitis and inflammation of other eye-related tissues. In many cases, results were excellent; in none could DMSO be blamed for any lens changes. One of the most distressing conditions that DMSO seemed to help was Hunner's ulcer, an inflammation of the bladder causing painful urination as often as every ten minutes. No other generally effective medical treatment is known. But any urologist now giving DMSO directly into...
Standing on the terrace of the only marble building on the University of California's Los Angeles campus, the sometime ophthalmologist dedicated the Jules Stein Eye Institute to the cause of preventing blindness. Said London's Professor Norman Ashton: "You have earned the gratitude of many people, but the deepest gratitude will never be expressed-nor can it be. It will be found in the eyes of those who live after us, who drink in the visual beauties of life without fearing the loss of that vision, and who may say, 'It is wonderful...
