Everything is a little more humorous through the eyes of an innocent child.  I found this article posted in Canada’s Chilliwack Times Online yesterday and got such a laugh.  Some elementary school age children were asked what life would be like if they were 100 years old.  So take a few minutes out of your day for a good laugh!  Below are just a few-ENJOY!!

“When I’m 100 years old, I will still have my video games, a small  car and go  out for dinner. I will not be able to ride a bike,  skateboard or scooter or  have a radio. I’ll name my kids Bob and  Harry and have a house with four rooms.  I’ll wake up at 1:20 in the  morning and go to bed at 7:30, and get breakfast at  1:30.”

Jett Thomas, Grade 3

“If I lasted to 100 years old, I would have a cane and a pair of  glasses too.  I would have grayish hair and I would barely even be  able to walk.”

Cole Mayes, Grade 2

“When I’m 100 years old I will watch lots of football. I will not be  able to  jump or play Wii. My back will hurt a lot. I will get my  robot servant to buy  and get me food. I will eat a lot. It will be  fun. I will make a book company  called Orange Inc. I also want to be  an astronaut. I will have a pet turtle and  I’ll keep my pet Wags. It  will be a lot of fun.”

Landon Johnston, Grade 2

“If I was 100 years old, I would quit dancing. I would have a dog. I  would  have a cane maybe. I would take walks and I would have sleeps  and maybe, just  maybe, I will have glasses, and my hair will turn  gray. And I might eat  tuna–yuck!”

Jordyn Zutter, Grade 3

Presbyopia is “a progressively diminishing ability of the eye to focus, noticeable from middle to old age, caused by loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens” (dictionary.com).  Most people start seeing symptoms in their early to mid forties, with their near vision becoming blurred.    It’s because of this blurriness that causes so many of us to turn to reading glasses.  I found this article by Judith Lee and Gretchyn Bailey that further explains what this inescapable annoyance does to our eyes…and sanity, for that matter!

The article outlines the cause of presbyopia, signs and treatments.  Our favorite, of course, being a pair (or a couple pair, since we can’t ever remember where we put ‘em!) of stylish readers.

Enjoy!!

When spending between $15 and $40 for a pair of reading  glasses, the least you can do is take great care of them.  These simple tips, from Health Touch Online (provided by the American Optometric Association), will ensure a long, sturdy life for your precious readers.

1) Clean the lenses using warm water and mild soap or detergent to remove oils and dirt from the lenses. An eyeglass cleaner is also OK. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
2) Never wipe plastic lenses when dry.
3) Wash the frames occasionally with soap and warm water.
4) When not wearing your glasses, keep them in their case. Never lay them with the lenses down, as this can cause scratching.
5) Avoid letting other people put on your glasses. This could disturb the alignment.
6) If you have trouble seeing even with clean, aligned glasses, you may need a prescription change or have an eye health problem in need of your optometrist’s attention.

…Just kidding!! Everyone seems to be a little giddy about the upcoming marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton.  With the wedding being just a few hours away, I guess I’ll have to admit that I’m a little excited myself.  After watching coverage on every major news channel for the past week, I thought I would do a little of my own.  Here are my favorite glasses-wearing celebs from across the pond-Enjoy!!
