Jon Stringer (Lab technician and Web designer) added "We are excited and extremely proud of our new range, I am sure they will go down very well with our customers. It has been hard turning down requests for rimless glasses over the past few months but in the end has given birth to a product second to none online"..

We often spend a lot of time doing something right when we shouldn't even be doing it at all. I remember during university, I was cleaning my bathroom very efficiently. I even found a contact lens that someone else had lost ? before I moved in two years earlier. However, I had final exams the next day. I was not making effective use of my time.

Effective use would have been to study. Think about how often you spend a lot of time doing something well when you should be doing something else. Mothers often do this. "Oh, I just have to get the dishes done and then I will play." Or "I have to finish this and then we can go to the park." We get annoyed at our children for interrupting us doing a menial job, when the effective use of our time is likely to enjoy our children before they grow up. This doesn't mean we should live in a messy house but it does mean we need to ask ourselves this question every so often: "Am I being Effective first? Am I doing the right job?"This question has really made a difference in my relationship with my children and my husband.

I have made the decision to use my time as effectively as possible. Rather than always trying to get work done when they are around and want to be with me, I have made use of childcare and school to make sure to have effective time both for my work and for my family. When the kids are away, I work on my writing and presentations. When they are home I set aside time to play, go for walks or just be with them. Of course, sometimes being effective is being able to multi-task.

As a Mom I truly can't survive without this skill. I may cook supper while my children are doing homework or answer a few emails while they are watching TV. I also need to be aware of the times when I can't do this.My husband and I try to find quality time alone together a few times a month. On our recent trip to Mexico, it was just amazing to be a couple again. We laughed, played and talked.

Rather than finding ourselves talking family all the time, we were able to strengthen our relationship while laughing on a kayak. Being aware of the difference between the two has helped me to improve both the quality of my work and my relationships. Here are some areas of our lives that benefit from making sure we are being effective and doing the right job:Chores ? When we do them and how much time we spend doing them. Do we need to vacuum everyday?Family time ? Are we really being together as a family? There is a difference between watching TV together and a family night. Work ? Can we focus on work so we can leave it there when we are done? Relationships ? We need to spend quality time with our family and friends.

Travel ? Can we travel and leave work or our commitments behind? Relaxing activities - Are we doing what we enjoy? Yes it is okay to watch our favorite TV shows, but do we need to watch hours of nothing? When we decide to relax, can we stop thinking about all that we have to do? (Moms, I know we are all guilty of this one!)Now, when we are doing the right job, let's be efficient and make sure we do it well (not perfect!)..

The lens isn't just solid color, it has a pattern similar to the pattern of a human eye. Also the color isn't consistent throughout the lens, just like in most people eyes. See color contact lens comparisonColor lens choices for light eyesDepending on the effect you want to create, people with light eyes can wear enhancement or opaque color contacts.If you just want to enhance your natural color, half transparent, enhancement lenses would be great for you. The best choices are:

Contacts of the previous generation didn't look quite right. However, recently developed color lenses like Freshlook Colorblends can do wonders for dark eyes.One thing to remember, however, is that enhancers don't work on brown eyes, so your only choice is opaque contact lenses. Acuvue 2 Colors opaques and Freshlook Colorblends work best for dark eyes.Also you should be careful, when selecting the color. It should be a color that would look right with your skin and hair. See color contact lens chart with suggestions and photos.If you just want to make your eyes seem brighter and more vivid, without changing their color, go for brown or hazel color lenses.

This way your eyes won't look a different color, but people will notice that they are bright and lively.Opaque color contacts work very well. The only thing they can't do for you is to make your eyes light. Blue, green and aqua opaque contacts create a deep, vivid color, which suits people who have naturally brown eyes.Do color contacts come with corrective powers?Acuvue 2 Colors and all Freshlook collections come with visual correction powers as well as in plano (no correction). Additionally, Freshlook Colorblends is the only color lens that comes in toric, so it is suitable for people with astigmatism. So which is better: Acuvue 2 Colors or Freshlook? There is no single answer to this question.

Both brands of lens are very comfortable to wear and create a great look. The only difference is in the colors. On the same person, blue from Acuvue would look very different from Freshlook blue. It really depends on your eyes and face, and it's almost impossible to predict the result until you wear your color contacts.Don't pay to much attention to how the lens looks in the picture, because on you it will probably look different. This happens mostly with enhancer lenses - blue enhancers over blue eyes look very different from enhancers over gray eyes.

Opaque color contact lenses also can look very different on different people; this is not due to your natural eye color, but because of eye shape, skin and hair types.When you narrow your choice to one color, I would recommend asking your doctor for two prescriptions: one for Acuvue 2 Colors and another for Freshlook. Then order both. They cost pretty much the same, so you would spend no more than if you were to order 2 boxes of each. Then, after wearing your new color contacts for a while, you can decide for yourself, which looks better.Also, doctors usually give you free trial color contacts. You can't really wear them in public because trial lenses have the word "test" imprinted on them, but it gives you a fair idea about the color.

Ask for two free pairs, one from Freshlook and one from Acuvue, and see which looks best.As far as the price is concerned, Freshlook and Acuvue 2 Colors cost about the same for a 6-lens box. However, all Freshlook lenses are monthly disposable, while Acuvue 2 Colors is a 2-week disposable contacts lens. So it turns out that Freshlook is twice cheaper. And you can get them both with a great discount - see how to get cheap color contact lenses If you were thinking of giving yourself a little treat, getting color contacts would not disappoint you. And now when you know what would work best for you, you can make your choice with confidence.Happy changing!.

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 appealing blue. Natural shades like hazel or blue are available but so are wilder colors like purple. A subtler colour contact lens is the "tinted" lens, which enhances one's natural eye color, as opposed to drastically changing it.

Prescribed, corrective colour contact lenses are actually more popular than lenses that are purely cosmetic though; sometimes people prefer certain tints to help them see their environment better (colorblind people have had mild success with tinted lenses that make it easier for them to discern colors), others like to have tinted lenses that can be found easily when they are dropped on the ground or in the sink, while still others simply want a new eye color.

It is important that a person finds colour contact lenses that suit their natural features though; otherwise their eyes may look strange..

Heres a guide to help find the right look at the right price.Its more than the eyes.Face shape plays a big role in finding the right pair of shades. People with heart-shaped faces should look for sunglasses that are wider at the bottom. Oval-faced individuals need horizontal lines to minimize the length of their faces. Frames with a curved or round look are best for faces with a square shape.Fashion or function?Filters that reduce glare, increase contrast and even improve depth perception are available. These features are convenient for activities like fishing, beach activities and long drives.

When shopping, consider sports or activities that make polarized or mirrored sunglasses a must.A little practicality never hurts.The material used in frames can play a role in cost and durability. For shades that are meant to make a fashion statement, simple plastic or wire frames are fine. But for more strength and probably a longer lifespan metal or lightweight composite frames are preferred. Name brand sunglasses may have features like tension springs, instead of screws, that connect the arms to the face for increased durability.Check out the special effects.When investing in a more expensive pair of sunglasses, it may be worthwhile to look for scratch-resistant coatings, anti-reflective and even waterproof features. These may add to the cost but may improve the functionality.

Varying degrees of lens tinting are available. Make sure that those shades fully block out both UV-A and UV-B rays, which can cause serious eye problems.These eyewear tips are presented by AP9 Shopping Essentials, the gateway members use to saving money on luggage, home electronics, gifts, crafts, toys and much more -- every time they shop.

The costume lenses that you can buy for yourself are the same theatrical grade eyewear used in Hollywood films.
Whether your costume is Hollywood horror or a Halloween classic, the designer eyewear options are impressive - in non-prescription contacts and in corrective lenses as well. Coastal Contacts (Clearly Contacts in Canada) offers 36 different special lens styles, from their "Inspired by the Movies" collection to their most popular designs and a full range of other special effects contact lenses.
For men and women donning spider gear this Halloween there's the Spidey lens (a black web over a red background) or the Spider Web (all white with a black web). The selection is extensive, mostly contacts that cover the iris and surround the pupil with unusual colors and shapes. Some of the other styles include Dark Wolf or Gremlin eyes, Angelic eyes, Cat Eyes and Vampire Red. You can also get lenses that cover the entire eyeball, like the Flames design or the Slither - a green eye with a horizontal, reptilian pupil.
Special effects contact lenses are designed to be comfortable and reusable - arresting and eye-catching without obstructing your vision.

Ordering lenses online means you're not getting the personalized fitting service that comes with an office visit to an optometrist or eye care professional, so it's important to be conscious of how the contacts fit and feel. Don't wear lenses that cause you discomfort and pain, and never share your contact lenses with someone else.
And why would you want to share anyway? Special effects contact lenses are catching on but the number of people with a costume so complete is small yet, and you could still be the only one at the party with freaky and unforgettable eyes..

The TL-75s integrated LED alignment beam illuminates the target, but unlike a LASER the TL-75 does not need a caution label. The TL-75s operator safe alignment beam also makes taking precise temperature measurements easy. The TL-75s visible LED beam illuminates only the area to be measured. Rework professional can, with confidence and precision, know what area is actually being measured without having to calculate the distance from the target to the sensor (D:S Ratio).The tight temperature control now possible with this instrument ensures that time/temperature ramp rates are accurate and the rework process repeatable.By combining ThermaLogixs patented thru-the-lens sighting with PDRs patented focused IR rework systems, a new standard of controlled rework has emerged. The new Lead Free Soldering challenge has mandated that higher rework temperatures become commonplace.

To further complicate matters, small variances in temperature accuracy can lead to catastrophic results, exhibited by component failure, PCB de-lamination, etc. Never before has the need for accurate temperature sensing and controlled temperature delivery systems been more apparent than in Lead Free Rework! PDRs focused Infrared rework accuracy is achieved via two closed loop temperature feedback circuits. They are for the PCB and the component. Feedback measurements are taken real-time and take into consideration changes in the rework environment such as ambient temperature conditions, etc... Both component and PCB (top/bottom) IR heat is applied according to feedback from fast response sensors.

Auto-profile software is a true auto-profile software due to real-time feedback provided by the fast response sensors.Unlike conventional black IR or hot air rework methods, PDRs patented technology and low mass component IR radiator provide close to zero lag time when component heating requirements follow a degrees per second change requirement as used in rework profiles. PDR-America is proud to offer this new combination of technical excellence with all PDR model IRX-410Vi systems at no additional cost. Thats a savings of US$2,000.00. This is a limited time offer. Some restrictions may apply.
