20/20 Vision

I just had my eyes checked recently and I am happy to say that my eyesight is still 20/20. My type of work entails a lot time spent on the computer and I thought, given the years I have been doing this job, my eyesight will give way. Thankfully, they are still good and I just have to remember to rest every 20 minutes so I do not strain my eyes.

Unfortunately for my brother though, he has to wear glasses because of his poor vision which he only came to know the same time we had our eyes checked. Good thing there are discount prescription glasses available in the optical shops here. He does not have to pay much for his spectacles.

My Daughter's Back-toSchool Eyeglasses

I just posted few days ago about my daughter's official entry to the kingdom of poor eyesight. Well, she is adamant to show me what her eye doctor gave her for her vision but I know exactly what she likes!

Even before I found out that she had poor vision, she always borrows my anti-glare glasses with a brown acetate frame (makes me look like a nerd but I find it cute!) and she just loves it. Then I remember something about prescription eyeglasses I have seen recently. Ah! That's right! Zenni Optical on TV!!! I saw some nice frames there and would really like to get the purplish/maroonish one for my daughter. I think she will love the printed flowers on the side frames. I find them so cute. Not only do they have various beautiful and fashionable frames to choose from, they are quite affordable. I reckon that my husband just spent around $70 for my daughter's prescription glasses and frames which I am not sure if it looks good on her or not. Seeing all the children's fashionable frames just made my decision to get one for her. I will have a lot of savings if I buy from ZenniOptical.com rather than make her wear something very generic which she may not even like. And worse, she may not even use it and that will only defeat the purpose of the prescription glasses.

I am so surprised to find $ 8 Rx eyeglasses at Zenni Optical. Finally, there is something I can purchase before my daughter goes back to school where I can actually save money. High Five to Zenni Optical!

LASIK - The Safe Vision Corrective Measure

I am thankful that I have been blessed with good eyesight, 20/20 to be exact. However, a member of the family had suffered before with a terrible eyesight which required her to lessen activities at night as she had difficulty seeing clearly and had to wear high-graded spectacles to enable her to read and do most of the activities people with normal vision would normally do.

Last 2001, she decided to undergo LASIK treatment. Back then, it was not quite known and people were very dubious about the procedure. Who wouldn't when your eyes were involved? After several appointments, consultations and evaluations, she passed everything and was treated.

What is LASIK and how safe is it? Here are some LASIK information:

LASIK is a modern eye vision corrective treatment involving the latest in laser technology. A lot of astronauts and pilots undergo this treatment to be able to carry out their duties and fulfill their objectives. Although LASIK is surgery, it is painless and a swift procedure carried out by highly-trained eye specialists.

Not everyone can be a candidate for this procedure due to criteria to be met. It is wise for the candidate-to-be to do a little research on LASIK and the hospitals and clinics offering this modern treatment.

Eye treatment and corrective measures have evolved through the years. People who squint and have vision problems can now live their dreams through this fast and safe method - the LASIK treatment.

Oh, before I forget, one might ask how is my family member now, years after the LASIK, her response is a resounding "Never been better!"
