As am getting older plus the type of job am doing, I need eye support.

Good thing at Zenni Optical, the have Prescription eyeglasses for only $8!  See that sample?  Am am so sure that will already look good in me.  With a very low price, i could buy two or three of that so that i can have one at home and one at work.    It is so cool seeing straight without breaking a bank.  They have cheap, durable, and stylish styles glasses so it does not hurt your pocket to buy lots of them.

They are know throughout the world.  In fact many knew that it was featured in New York Times.  So you can answer if anyone will exclaim,  Zenni Optical in the New York Times? Yes, yes, it was featured.  So it’s better you grab your next piece of eyewear from them.

Here’s another something i grabbed from the mag i was reading yesterday while the doctoral class is having their class.  I hope this can help.

Correct treatment of an eye injury immediately following an accident can prevent loss of sight. Because it is difficult to determine the extent of damage to the eye, medical help should be sought as soon as first aid is completed. Then call an ophthalmologist, your family physician, or go to a nearby hospital emergency room immediately.

Blows to the eye:
Apply an ice-cold compress immediately for about 15 minutes to reduce the pain and swelling. A black eye or blurred vision could signal internal eye damage. See your ophthalmologist immediately.

Eye and Eyelid Cuts:
Bandage the eye lightly and seen medical help immediately. Do not attempt to wash the eye or remove the object struck in it. Never apply pressure to the injured eye or eyelid. Do not rub the eye.

Specks in the Eye:
Never rub any speck or particle in your eye. Lift the upper lid over the lower lid allowing the lashes to brush the speck off the inside of the upper lid. Blink a few times and let the eye move the particle out. If the speck remains, keep your eye closed and seek medical help.

Chemical Burns:
Flood your eyes with water immediately, using your fingers to keep the eye open as wide as possible. Hold your head under a faucet or pour water into the eye from any clean container for a least 15 minutes, continuously and gently. Roll the eyeball as much as possible to wash out the eye. Do not use an eyecup. Do not bandage the eye. Seek medical help immediately after these steps are taken.

It is important to know that first aid is just first aid and is given until experienced medical help is available. When an accident involves the eye, it is always wise to seek medical help immediately if there is pain or any question of damage or impaired vision. Remember, safety is the best way to save sight, and prevention the most effective treatment for eye injuries.

Over one million people suffer from eye injuries each year. Of these, 10-30 percent will be disabled because of temporary or permanent vision loss. Below are some suggestions on how to prevent eye injuries:

AT HOME:

1. Make sure that spray nozzles are directed away from you before pressing down the handle.

2. Read instructions carefully before using cleaning fluids, detergents, ammonia, or harsh chemicals. Wash hands thoroughly after use.

3. Use grease shields on fry pans to decrease spattering.

4. Use opaque goggles to avoid burns from sunlamps.

AROUND CHILDREN

1. Pay attention to age and responsibility level of a child when selecting toys and games. Avoid projective toys such as darts, pellete guns, etc., which can be thrust into the eye from a distance.

2. Supervise children playing with toys and games that can be dangerous.

3. Teach children the correct way to handle potentially dangerous items such as scissors and pencils.

IN THE GARDEN:

1. Don’t let anyone stand beside or before a moving lawnmower.

2. Pick up rocks and stones before mowing the grass. These objects can hurl out of the rotary blade and “rebound” off curbs or walls, causing severe injury to the eye.

3. Make sure that pesticide spray can nozzles are directed away from your face.

4. Be careful when going under low-hanging branches.

AROUND THE CAR:

1. Before opening the hood of the car, put out all cigarette or matches. Use a flashlight, not a match or lighter, to illuminate the battery at night.

2. Keep protective goggles next to your jumper cables.

3. Wear protective goggles when grinding metal, or striking metal against metal, tennis, while doing auto body repair.

IN SPORTS:

1. Wear safety goggles especially for sports such as raquetball, badminton, tennis, baseball, and basketball.

2. Wear protective caps, helmets, or face protectors when appropriate.

3. Avoid wearing contact lenses when swimming.

4. Use safety goggles when playing under the sun for protection from ultraviolet.

AROUND FIREWORKS

1. Do not use explosive fireworks.

2. Never allow children to ignite fireworks.

3. Do not stand near others when lighting fireworks.
