My overall vision has improved during the 30 day course which I’ve just completed.
Consequently, I no longer need glasses for reading and the computer…” – Steve Cooper


According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were more than 235,000 toy-related injuries treated in U.S. emergency rooms in 2008; nearly three quarters of those injured were children under age 15. So, be careful this year with your eyes. Watch out for kids toys that can hurt the eyes, watch out for your eyes in the winter sun… You only get two eyes so be careful.

Vision Fact: Blinking

Blinking cleanses and lubricates the eyes. When we blink, salty secretions from the tear glands flush away small dust particles on the eye’s surface and moisten the exposed portion of the eyeball. Infants blink once every minute or so, but adults blink an average of 10 to 15 times a minute.
