    We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Labor Day.  This marks the un-official end to summer, and the signs of fall are beginning to show.   The kids are back in school, football is back in the news, and the mornings are starting to have that early chill. 
 
    However, we have some news that makes most think of summer.  We now are carrying the very popular sunglasses brand, Maui Jim.  Adding this line to the other sunglasses in our portfolio helps demonstrate our commitment to providing value in the highest quality products.  
 
    In honor of this addition, we are having another great special on sunglasses for the entire month of September. Be sure to see the certificate at the bottom of this Newsletter.  This will help us remember that UV protection is important year round. 
 
Sincerely,
Mike Rothschild, O.D. and Kyle Edwards, O.D.

The Latest Technology in Polarized Lenses

 maui jims
Maui Jim sunglasses are crafted to offer superior lens and frame quality. The lenses are patented with Polarized Plus2 technology. What this means for you is 99.9% of glare is wiped out and 100% of harmful UV allowing the world's true colors to come shining through.

 

Most people choose polarized sunglasses only to reduce glare from the sun. Maui Jim lenses combine an exclusive polarizing film, bi-gradient mirror and an anti-reflective treatment not only protect the eyes from the sun, but they also reduce eye fatigue. Your eyes will feel fresh and renewed. The difference is dramatic.

 

In addition to all the technology packed into these sunglasses, they also offer the latest in style and fashion. There are styles available for everyone from the avid fisherman to the ladies that want the hottest looks while enjoying the outdoors.

 Could You Have Computer Vision Syndrome?

  Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is characterized by tired and sore eyes, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and general body fatigue.
 
It is the number one complaint in the workplace and affects everyone who works on a computer.
 
CVS is brought on by the way your computer screen works. An image on the screen is made of thousands of tiny colored squares called pixels. These pixels are constantly changing in color and brightness, which causes your eyes to refocus. This constant refocusing is what causes the symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome.
 
Specialty Eyewear to Reduce CVS
The only surefire method to prevent CVS is to wear specially prescribed computer glasses. These can range from specialized multi-focal lenses to single focal lenses used specifically while at the computer.
 
However, you can combat the effects of CVS simply by properly setting up your workspace. Place your computer screen approximately 20-40 inches away from your eyes, directly in front of you, and position it so there is little to no glare on the screen. Make sure the screen height is set up properly so that it can be viewed with out looking down or slouching in your chair.
 
Finally, a desk lamp may be used to provide more light without increasing glare. While proper arrangement of your workplace will help reduce the effects of CVS, you should still consult your eye care provider to fully prevent Computer Vision Syndrome.
