Abstract
IN its annual report for 1940 the United States. National Society for the Prevention of Blindness stresses the increase in eye accidents brought about by extension of industrial production made necessary by national defence. Many firms are now using the industrial film known as “The Eyes Have It”, which has been made available to the Society without cost by the Pullman Society. The Society is now planning an evaluation of vision–testing procedure used with school children and pre–school children in the hope of establishing a uniform procedure. During 1940 the National League for Nursing Education began a study of nursing education in sight conservation in co–operation with the Society. The Society has also arranged to co–operate with similar organizations in Latin America, has prepared an exhibition on glaucoma, and has continued its campaign to reduce blindness caused by venereal disease and fireworks.
