EYESIGHT PROSPECTIVE AND VISUAL EFFICIENCY OPTOMETRY FOR CHILDREN DR. O. B. STANLEY OPTOMETRIST TELEPHONE 4-7545 362 CYPRESS STREET - BOX 742 ABILENE, TEXAS February 5, 1953 Mr. Truett Latimer House of Representatives Austin, Texas Dear Sir: Optometry is presenting House Bill # 5 in this session of Texas Legislature. I feel it will be a wonderful benefit to the 'glass wearing' public because it will raise the standards of Optometry and therefore make one in a better position to preserve vision and to serve the public in a professional manner. The only criticism I have heard of the bill is that it is too strict. After all, we have only one pair of eyes, and can an Optometrist be too good? Under the present set up the profession is gradually degenerating. If you feel I am right, I will appreciate your support in passing House Bill # 5. Thank you for the best interest of the visual welfare of the citizens of Texas. Sincerely, O. B. Stanley, 0 D.
