The optics of Prescription Eyeglasses
There are estimated 168 million people who wear prescription eyeglasses in the United States. Only a very small percentage of those people could tell you what strength their lenses are or read an eyeglass prescription. The strength of prescription eyeglasses is measured in what we call diopters. Optometrists abbreviate that with a D. The stronger the lens, the higher the diopter measures.
Prescription eyeglass lenses are measured in positives or negatives. If you look through a negative lens the object that you are focusing on will look smaller. If looking through a positive lens, the object will look bigger. There are three professions that deal with prescription eyeglasses that many people are not aware of. The first profession is called an Optician.
An Optician makes the lenses, frames and contact lenses. They analyze the prescription and then dispense medications and prescription eyeglasses. The Ophthalmologist is an eye doctor who is licensed to perform surgeries that are needed to correct vision or aid in curing eye diseases.The Optometrist is the eye doctor who usually will give the eye exam and checks for any diseases and medical conditions. They are licensed to dispense prescription eyeglasses and medications. There are three very common eye disorders that can be treated by wearing prescription eyeglasses.* Mypoia, another name for nearsightedness.
The symptoms are blurred vision and inability to focus on objects that are in the distance.* Hyberopia, which means farsightedness. It is the opposite of Myopia. The symptoms are headaches, eye fatigue after reading or watching television.* Glaucoma, which is the build up of fluid on the retina. There are no warning signs to this disease and it can cause loss of sight if left untreated.A person should have their eyes examined by an optometrist every two years until they are the age of 60 then the examinations should be annually..

The First 11 Days are the Hardest
There's so much to discover in a Mercury Retrograde cycle. We astrologers are happy everyone is catching on, but there's more to it than the usual mess up with computers, electrical appliances, cars, mail and phone messages. Especially now that we're relying more on email, cell phones and the internet, Mercury becomes more important. After all, it was the Uranus in Gemini generation that brought us these fun new toys and Gemini is a Mercury ruled planet.You know Mercury goes retrograde three times a year but how can you tell when? If you don't have a personal relationship with an astrologer, buy a calendar from Llewellyn called the "2004 Daily Planetary Guide" (2005, 2006, etc.) It has all the key astrological information in a handy spiral bound desktop calendar that you can also use for notes and appointments. It costs $9.95.

Colour Contact Lenses - Corrective, Therapeutic and Cosmetic
Contact lenses are classified as corrective, therapeutic, and cosmetic. For those who are short sighted, near sighted, or who have astigmatism (all refractive defects of the eye) corrective contact lenses are in order. In these cases, an eye patient will mostly likely be prescribed "spherical" lenses. Therapeutic contact lenses cure other problems that are non-refractive, like "dry eye," and some types of therapeutic lenses even deliver medicine to the eye.
Two types of cosmetic lenses are colour contact lenses and special effects contact lenses. While these lenses occasionally correct vision when needed (they are basically spherical lenses), they also can blur vision because of their design.
Colour contact lenses essentially change the appearance of the eye. Some people may require colour contact lenses for less superficial reasons (perhaps they have a physical deformity on their iris) while others may simply want to ditch their natural brown eye color for a more...
