Simcoe gets
new optical parlors
Mr. Ross Clapp, formerly of
Toronto, a full-fledged Optometrist and Optician, has decided
to locate in Simcoe. and install a complete optical equipment.
Mr. Clapp recently completed
the most advanced course in Optometry it is possible to take in
Canada. He has successfully passed the examinations of the Canadian
Ophthalmic College, Toronto, under the tutelage of Mr. W. G. Maybee,
an instructor of international reputation.
Although optical equipment
such as Mr. Clapp has installed is not usually found outside the
larger cities, Mr. Clapp believes local conditions to be such that
Simcoe and vicinity will support modern optical parlors.
It is only in recent years
that the business of optics has developed scientifically to any
great extent, and it is now making such rapid strides that men who
have been prescribing glasses for years find constant study
necessary to keep pace with its advancement, and with the public
demand for more scientific service in the correction of their eyes.
The old-time method of trying
lenses in a trial frame until the patient thinks he can see better
will no longer do. Scientific and exact examination and tests are
demanded and modern knowledge and equipment are necessary in the use
of the new methods.
Mr. Clapp has had a special
refracting room built within his offices and has equipped it with
instruments of the latest and most approved designs. With this
equipment and knowledge, he is in a position to give the citizens of
Simcoe and vicinity an optical service unsurpassed anywhere in
Canada, not even in the larger cities.
