Apparently dogs need reading glasses too! They can also help you choose which ones they think you should consider.

While I was cruising the web trying to find new and informative tips and tricks about reading glasses I came across the video below:

Choosing Reading Glasses

You can learn how to train your dog to help you out as well as see how they look on your favorite pet! The video starts getting really funny around time mark 3:05 so if you just want to see how a dog looks in glasses go to that point of the video. Hope you find this as hilarious as I did!

Happy Wednesday!

Ran across this press release about  the lack of awareness on how UV rays can seriously damage our vision. 1 in 6 americans plan on wearing sunglasses when they know they’ll be out in the sun for long periods of time. Highlights of the press relase are below:

The congressional briefing, held today, included presentations by several eye doctors, researchers and government representatives on the detrimental and largely preventable impact of UV on eye health, and the importance of wearing eyewear such as sunglasses and photochromic lenses that block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays to reduce exposure.  Presenters also explained that the groups at highest risk for UV-related eye disease are often the least aware of the need for protection.  High-risk groups include Hispanic Americans, African Americans, and Asian Americans, as well as women, older Americans (consider reading sunglasses) and children.  In addition, several of the presentations provided insights into the financial impact of UV-related eye disease on individuals, employers and the nation as a whole. Specific action urged by lawmakers includes:

• Inclusion of UV eye protection messages in current and future government-funded education programs on related topics, such as eye- and overall- health or sun protection;
• Research on the impact of UV on the eye as a topic of consideration for future government-funded efforts; and
• Heightened awareness of role of vision wear in enhancing eye health and safety, as well as overall quality of life and productivity.

Hope you find this as informative as we did.

Happy Monday!

I ran across a video on the web discussing the safety of off the rack reading glasses. In particular the question was,

“I’m blind as a bat, but would those cheap off the rack reading glasses you see at the drug store help me out at all? Worse yet, will they destroy what vision I have left?”

The answer is no! However some reading glasses are better than others in terms of quality. Peepers are a bit more expensive than the pairs you would find at Walgreens and Walmart, but you are getting more bang for your buck in quality and design.

 The loss of good vision over time leads women to worry about being unable to read (maybe that’s why the majority of our reading glasses customers are women), while men fear being unable to see the people they love.  Both sexes, however, agree on one thing: Their biggest vision concern is that bad eyesight could render them unable to live independently.
