Eye disorders and custom color contact lens technology, including special tints and hand-painted applications, help people - from babies to the elderly - find relief from serious eye abnormalities.
Until recently, colored contact lenses have been fitted primarily for cosmetic purposes. But relatively new technology developed by Stan Harper, optician and CEO of Adventures in Color Technology, Ltd., is now being used in almost every hospital and teaching university in the United States, and some internationally, to treat and eliminate a wide range of vision problems."More than 20 million people suffer from serious untreated vision problems, and most of those people don't realize a solution like ours is available," Harper, former president of the Contact Lens Society of America, says.Roughly two percent of the population has suffered a serious eye injury as a result of an accident, and others have vision problems as a result of unsuccessful eye surgeries or birth defects. These people can be helped as well. The company uses various Federal Food and Drug Administration approved colors and designs specifically applied to soft contact lenses.A 17-year-old Loveland, Colo., resident and accident victim Courtney Wacker suffered from double vision and a disfigured eye after emerging from a five-week coma. She subsequently was fitted with a lens from Adventures in Color Technology.
According to Wacker, the restoration of her normal vision and appearance brought tears to her eyes.
"Being able to see normally, without wearing an eye patch, was the best feeling in the world," Wacker says."Similarly, a fourteen year old boy born with no iris color in both eyes and experiencing extreme light sensitivity, wished for blue eyes like his parents have.
He now has handsome blue eyes and is not sensitive to light as a result of our company hand painting a pair of blue irises on his soft contact lenses.
They are so natural looking that few people realize these are not his own eye color."In addition, several babies - as young as three months and needing specially designed and colored lenses - have been helped, assuring them of normal vision as they continue to develop," Harper explains.
Adventures In Color Technology, Ltd., serves eye care practitioners in private practice throughout the world, developing colors and patterns for low vision patients and continuing research for other retinal problems.
Hopefully, to soon help patients with macular degeneration, a debilitating loss of vision as the macula in the back of the eye becomes less and less responsive to light entering the eye through the pupil. This condition is the leading cause of blindness in our older population. The company's headquarters is located at 1511 Washington Avenue, Golden, Colo., 80401.

Underwater Photography: The Wonders Under the Sea
The world of photography is an amazing one. It's been with us for quite a while now but it is constantly changing. Cameras are changing and improving. Methods of developing are changing and improving as well. We have digital cameras that allow people to take a view of their pictures immediately without traditional developing.
Another change in the world of photography is underwater photography. What do you think brings us those great shots of saltwater fish and movies that film in the ocean and under the sea? What about shots taken in swimming pools? You see those in the movies a lot but may not have thought about how they take those pictures and videos. You probably never thought about it because for a long time underwater photography was not really an option for everyday people. But now it is not just an option, it's really easy to achieve. - What is Underwater Photography? Underwater photography is as the name implies photos that are taken under water.
This is pretty...

Headlights to Illumine Your Way
As an important part of a vehicle, headlights are mounted there to serve an essential purpose: to provide safety for the driver and its passengers, as well as other people in contact with the car. They illuminate the road upon which the vehicle would be running through. And they would illuminate the way in dire cases of harsh weather conditions like foggy afternoons, snowy winters, thunderstorms, and also during driving at the stark of night. They are mounted specifically at the front of the vehicle so as to light the road ahead. They also have reflectors and special lenses.
A headlight, or also known as a headlamp, is a lamp that is usually attached to the front of the vehicle with the purpose of lighting up the road ahead during periods of low visibility. Modern headlights are practically operated through and by the means of electricity. They are positioned...

Is There a Perfect Contact Lens For Dry Eyes?
Do you have dry eyes? Whether you just feel like you have dry eyes or your doctor has told you, there are contact lenses made just for you. Dry eye contact lenses vary depending on the type of dry eye. Manufacturers of contact lenses have focused a lot of time and research into developing the perfect dry eye contact lens.A dry eye can be caused by numerous factors, and therefore, the perfect dry eye contact lens does not exist. The good news is contact lenses are designed for all different types of dry eyes. So chances are there is a contact lens for your dry eyes.In its simplest state, dry eye is a lack of tears on the eye.
In some cases it is a slow tear production rate, some instances it is a fast evaporation of tears, and in others it is a question of tear quality. Given the complexities of dry eye syndrome, there is no one contact lens that can possibly work on every dry eye. In many cases, lenses like the Proclear Compatibles by cooper vision or the Extreme H2O contact lens...

MRSA Cured by Vitamin C
I am unable to understand why, after publication of the evidence I submitted on 30th July quoting the two papers on the efficacy of ascorbate in killing MRSA in Japanese research by Nakanishi T. and available on Entrez PubMed, no interest at all has been shown. Could it not be the case that non-toxic IV ascorbate would provide an instant solution to these infections and many others, and may one ask why it has not been done? There is not even a negative paper to be found in the literature on the subject of multigram doses of ascorbate IV - only many successes and positively beneficial sequelae. The prompt resolution of many bacterial and viral infections by ascorbate IV have been reported by Klenner F and others from 1949 onwards. If the public has to wait much longer as the death rate mounts, might not MRSA patients start discharging themselves from hospitals in order to start injecting themselves? I would.
