Sunglasses: Protection for Your Eyes
Putting on sunglasses is as  important as putting on sunscreen. They both offer protection against the sun's harmful rays. A good pair of sunglasses acts as a shield that can offer 100% UV protection and keep your eyes healthy for years to come.

Getting the Most Out of Your Sunglasses 
A $20 pair of sunglasses can look pretty similar to a $250 pair, so why pay more? The difference is in the technology, which offers more comfort, durability, and performance. Most find name brands that they recognize offer a sense of reliability in the quality of their product. When you know the name you trust the quality of the craftsmanship. 
How do you enhance the performance of any pair of sunglasses? Polarized lenses offer the ultimate vision experience and provide enhanced vision by eliminating glare off of surfaces such as water, windshields, and snow.

Allergy Season - Worst in Years

We have felt has been a bad allergy season, now it is official. I just read that Paul Gomes, the director of allergy research in Andover, Mass has reported that this year's weather was perfect for increased pollen counts. He says, "Trees received a healthy amount of precipitation during a very cold winter. This was immediately followed by a sunny, warm and dry spring."

A pollen count is high at 120 - Yet in April, Atlanta recorded a pollen count of 5,722 - it's second highest count ever. In my career, I have never seen so many eye allergies or seen as many bad cases. I guess the drought wasn't all bad?
