Ellis Island Button Hook Eye Inspection, Sign reads: Trach…
Sign reads: "Trachoma, a highly contagious eye infection that could cause blindness, was common in south-eastern Europe but relatively unknown in the United States. It appeared as inflammation on the inner eyelid. Doctors checked for the disease by raising the eyelid with their fingers, a hair-pin, or a buttonhook. Since trachoma was difficult to cure, sufferers were generally isolated and sent back to their ports of embarkation." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Creative Commons licenses for this or any other photo in my photostream will be granted on an individual basis, but you must contact me to get my approval for your use.
