Why go to so much trouble when either;
a) you should not have messed it up in the first place. Its your fault deal with it.
b) if they messed up why bother taking them back or even busting a gut to get them back.
Still I guess love is blind and all that.
I prefer the silent treatment
Cataract Treatment with AcrySof ReSTOR
Author: Evan LangstedThere are five and half million people in the U.S. suffering from cataracts, a clouding of the lens that affects vision. The term cataract comes from the Greek word for waterfall, from the mistaken belief that it was humor causing ripples that clouded vision. Various treatments for cataract have been around since antiquity, each progressively improving on its predecessor. Only in modern times, have treatments been available that match the healthy crystalline lens' characteristics. The major advancements in vision enhancement using replacements lenses have occurred since the 1940's.
History of cataract treatment
The earliest recorded procedure, know as couching, is recorded in 5th Century B.C. Sanskrit manuscripts. This procedure moves the lens out of its natural pocket out of the way. Although the cataractic lens was out of the way, there was nothing to replace it and improve vision problems.
A practice called needling is recorded in the First Century A.D. This procedure would break up the clouded lens, allowing it to be reabsorbed naturally. Today's modern procedures use advanced technology like lasers to do similar things.
In the 18th Century, the cataract lens was removed through various methods where the lens could be squeezed through a small incision. By the early 20th Century, a small suction cup was invented to ease the extraction of the lens. In all these procedures, the cloudy lens was removed, but nothing replaced the lens to help improve other vision problems.
Monofocal IOL
In the 1940s an intraocular lens was developed to sit in the aphakea, the space voided after the removal of thy crystalline lens. These lenses were based on typical corrective lenses and were only capable of correcting lenses for one distance. Patients would still be required to wear corrective glasses for near vision correction.
An adaptation of lens replacement surgery, called mono-vision correction, uses lenses of varying power to correct the dominant eye for distance vision and the non-dominant eye for near vision. Patients could easily check ahead of time to see if mono-vision correction would work by testing a pair of glasses using the same techniques.
Multifocal IOL
Around the turn of this century, advancement is lens technology introduced several multifocal intraocular lenses for enhanced vision correction. There are several options now available to correct vision for all distances using the same lens. The leading multifocal lens is AcrySof ReSTOR IOL. It uses apodized diffractive and refractive technology to mimic the way the natural crystalline bends light into the retina.
The apodized portion of the lens lies in the interior of the lens and progresses through very small steps of increased thickness. This allows for good focusing on near objects, making these IOL. Around the edges of the lens is the refractive portion, which allows the parallel light when focusing at a distance to enter the eye when the pupil is more dilated. Although AcrySof ReSTOR lenses cannot completely accommodate as well as the natural crystalline lens of the eye, they come much closer. More than 80 percent of patients can break their spectacle dependence.
As the century progresses, technology will advance even further, offering ophthalmologic surgeons greater ability to restore vision using multi-focal lenses that approach the abilities of the human eye. It is important to find a vision correction specialist who keeps abreast of the latest vision correction technology.

By now I am sure you have heard about the dangers of eye surgery. Therefore you must have heard how big a risk Lasik Eye Surgery can be and how much it improves eye site. The odds are in your favour as the majority of Lasik eye surgery goes without a hitch but I would be prudent to understand what could go wrong with Lasik Eye Surgery.
Firstly as with any surgery things can go wrong, its important to understand this and take it into consideration when deciding weather on not to go through with it.
In some very rare cases you could end up with a worse set of eyes than before, the chances of this are very small as the procedure is being fine tuned and sufficient training is being undertaken by all of the surgeons now.
You may also suffer from dry eye syndrome, what happens here is that it is exactly what it says on the tin. The eyes remain relatively dry and you will find it difficult to wear contact lenses again should you need to.
You may end up with an imperfection on the outer layer of the eye, therfore you will always have this in your vision.
When you weigh up the odds and take into consideration the benefits over the cons. Most people decide that Lasik Eye Surgery is right for them and they enjoy near perfect vision without the need for optical devices (I dont mean DVD players). The success rate of the surgery is increasing day by day so just make sure its the right decision for you.

As people get older, they generally experience a reduction in their eye sight. For some it means you either become short sighted or long sighted. This can affect everyday activities like reading things close up, a menu for example becomes a daunting challenge. However the most common mis conception for eye problems is that nothing can be done about it but you would be wrong to think this. Please read the following tips so you can try and prevent these problems in later life.
Always go for an eye test at least once a year, the optician may even spot something early that can be treated.
When you have been your prescription may have changed slightly so get a new set of bins so your eyes do not strain, straining is the number 1 factor in eye sight deteriation.
You could always opt for surgery on eyes, there are many types available, one option for people who've have poor eye sight is to get Lasik surgery. Lasik is a very safe and effective laser eye surgery that is becoming more and more common that will actually correct the imperfections in your eyes. The surgery is now so common that people are perfecting this relatively new form of cosmetic surgery and patients may never need to wear glasses again. It not only improves self esteme but the quality of life too.
I for one used to hate waking up in the morning and the first thing I had to do was reach for my glasses, sports become harder and proably the most annoying thing was having to keep pushing the glasses up my nose :) I tried contact lenses for a while but I just did not feel comfortable.
UV rays also harm the eyes so its a good idea to get some prescription sunglasses if your lucky enough to be affording a holiday in the economic down turn :)
It does not matter what all you do to keep your eyes in good condition, it is so important to just visit the optician at regular intervals.

How your positive contribution into lives of others can echo in your own life.
It seems that the only times when we pay attention to our mental and physical health are when our bodies cannot cope with the burdens, stresses and strains of life. These seem to harass us almost all of the time and it is at these times when we draw on the virtues of nature to provide us with miraculous cures. Just think though, if we were to acquaint ourselves with the wonderful qualities of nature early on in our childhood, then we may not come up against so many problems later in life.
After my hard and pressurising working-week I was so tired that I couldn’t sleep properly. The following day I could not find my glasses. I needed them urgently to write a letter but I could not find them anywhere. Imagine my delight when I suddenly found that I could write without my glasses! What a miracle! I was utterly bemused by this for ages but then came to realise that this marvellous discovery was the result of my drinking a glass of fresh carrot juice every day.
Up to that point, I had taken several different supplements and vitamins to improve my eyesight but they didn’t seem to make much of a difference. Could it be that the fresh carrot juice that I drank every morning had really provided a cure? I scolded myself, ‘You tell everybody about healthy benefits of fruits and vegetables. You wrote so many fairy tales, stories and legends about the miracles of carrots and yet you can’t believe in this miracle!’ One day, teachers from a school in Russia sent us a letter telling us about how they had incorporated our fairytales into their children’s lessons. They had brought a large pumpkin along to the lessons and told the children that ‘Auntie Pumpkin’ ruled the vegetable kingdom as she was the largest and most caring vegetable on the planet. They then told the children about the miracles that the green-eyed Auntie Pumpkin could make in her splendid orange dress; how she could cure painful joints and strengthen bones and bowels.
It wasn’t long before parents started to complain. One mother moaned: ‘My daughter won’t let her father relax. He loves to lie down in front of the television after work but she keeps pulling at his sleeves to come into the kitchen and eat pumpkin. She was repeating all evening, ‘Papa, now I know why you are always so tired. It is because you don’t eat pumpkin. It is pumpkin which gives strenghth and energy!’
‘My son keeps pestering me about pumpkins. Every evening he demands it for dinner. He keeps saying, ‘I don’t want my teeth to turn bad.’In the past he would never eat pumpkin,’ exclaimed another mother.
Here, we have a real fact of life regarding what just one fairytale can do - it can create a miraculous impression on children.
One day, I visited a school at lunchtime. The school-cooks prepared carrot salad for the kids. When I saw how one boy pushed away his plate of salad with hatred in his eyes, I asked him, ‘Do you know why gnomes like carrots more than gold?’ At that point, all conversations in the dining hall stopped and all eyes turned to me. ‘They really do like carrots more than gold.’ I said again. ‘In many countries they tell stories about how gnomes trade lumps of gold with woodcutters in exchange for delicious carrots.’ - This is because there is vitamin A in carrots which helps people to grow big and strong. Gnomes grow very slowly so vitamins that can help them to grow quicker are more valuable to them that all the jewels on the earth. The vitamins in carrots can also help you to see perfectly. The light underground is very bad so gnomes’ eyes suffer. Fresh carrot is a wonderful cure for them. If you want to see a gnome you should always go into the forest with some carrots.
After dinner, the school’s cook told the teacher that everyone wanted extra helpings of carrot salad. ‘They’re probably up to some kind of mischief. We always have loads of salad left over.’ The cook said.
It is strange but very often we receive letters from students from different colleges and schools who are writing essays and reports on healthy food and ask if we will allow them to use our illustrations of talking strawberries and playful bananas!
Our message to all: Dear friends, our fruits and vegetables do not only talk and play in our illustrations. They also talk and play in the fairytales and stories which tell us of their wonderful secrets. These wonderful gifts of nature will live in our hearts forever. All we must do is learn about their miraculous qualities and make use of them in our everyday lives.

Smoking increases the risk of eye diseases(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Eye-Health.html). It degenerates the macula and the tissue of the eyes. Researchers have found that smoking has direct, harmful effects on eyesight, especially on cataracts and age-related macula degeneration (AMD).
Smoking can worsen diabetes-related sight problems. Those affected with diabetes should pay much more attention to their eyesight, especially if they are also smokers. There is a relationship between these two conditions and their effects on eyesight. Diabetes can affect the eyesight, while smoking will worsen the situation.
Vitamins and minerals from food are essential to the eyes
Adequate nutrition keeps eyes healthy(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Eye-Health.html). Poor nutrition has adverse effects on eye health. Therefore, nutrition is a significant factor which affects eye health in many ways. Free radicals increased by smoking can change the body’s ability to absorb and extract necessary vitamins. In this way, smoking affects nutrition for the eyes(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Eye-Health.html). Smoking also reduces the appetite, perhaps resulting in a poor diet. All of these have a bad effect on eye health. In order to keep your eyes healthy, you should taken in proper nutrition and find a healthy way to replace smoking. To avoid the regret of being blocked out of the world by eye disease, quit all bad habits related to worsening eyesight. Take adequate nutritional supplements and vitamin extracts.
