Learning about Your Eyes and when They Go Wrong

Understand how the eye works

Hence that you can see clearly, light rays have to be 100% focussed on the optic retina at the back of the eye. The beams of light that emanate from an image go through the clear cornea (covering of the eye) and then are bent as the travel through the eye’s secret lens, that manoeuvres the fine tuning of the focussing.

The viewable image is forged by the light sensitive retina commuting the light energy into electical impulses, which then communicate along nerves to the region at the back of the brain that processes vision. This occipital part of the cerebral cortex tells us what we are seeing

Short-sightedness (myopia)

With short sighted or myopic people, the eyeball is too long, relative to the focusing strength of the cornea and lens unit. So the rays of light that come from the distant object converge in front of the retina as the corneal/lens focussing unit is too powerful.

This means that achieving a clear image of an object in the distance becomes increasingly challenging. Focussing on objects near by is OK. And So kids may not learn as well as they can not read what is written on the white board very easily.

In general, children and teenagers are the most commonly affected group of patients. You may find that the whole family have to wear glasses as there is a genetic tendency. However, these parents are usually well aware of the tell tale signs and Thus tend to bring their kids to the care of opticians relatively quickly.

Spectacles are necessary to correct the focusing by creating another element to the cornea/lens unit, which distorts the visual image to allow it to focus on the retina more readily. It can be quite expensive to buy spectacles all the time. However, it is possible to buy your spectacles on line now. Myopia can also be handled by wearing contact lenses or even undergoing laser surgery to correct the defective visual unit

Real Men Wear Collared Shirts

It’s amazing how when you’re a young child how impressionable you really are, and how those things that your parents always say shape your future without you even having to know about it. I’m sure if you think back you can remember at least a dozen sayings that your parents religiously told you that are stuck in your subconscious and maybe worse, right on the front of your brain.

The best one that spans the generation is the money doesn’t grow on trees saying that we have all grown up with. Well no kidding. It comes from a cash machine, not a tree. Seriously now, those things let us live in a world of abundance or they send us in the other direction.

If you can picture a mother telling her son every time they went out, or went to school saying that real mean wear collared shirts, then you can get a clear vision of what I’m about to share. I can’t remember one time that I left the house that my mom didn’t tell me that.

I grew up with polo shirts and button up shirts starched to the max. I don’t know that it really helped at all in my many trials and tribulations. I’m sure in the journey there have been a few times when it really mattered, but I think it boils down to who you are and how you hold yourself. I’ve been around plenty of wealthy, successful people that wore Hawaiian shirts day in and day out.

So be careful what you say to those that may be impressionable and look up to you. It may end up creating and shaping their entire destiny for years to come.

Chanel Pearl Sunglasses

Since 2003 Chanel fans everywhere have been excited about the Chanel Pearl sunglasses. Chanel did a great job creating a new look for women that want a bit of style incorporated into their every accessory, even their sunglasses. The Chanel Pearl sunglasses were an instant success when women saw how beautifully these glasses went with just about everything that they wore. What is even better is that there is a whole series of these pearl glasses that consumers continue to buy because they really are different from your every day sunglasses. If you are a stickler for detail, you will find that the Chanel Pearl sunglasses are a great addition to your accessory wardrobe.

Of course, the Chanel sunglasses are not really made from pearls, they are actually made from mother of pearl. Many of the glasses have rims while others are rimless, but both varieties look really sharp with just about anything. The mother of pearl simply gives what could be a very boring pair of sunglasses (other than the fact that they are Chanel!) a very distinguished look. Instead of fading into the crowd during the summer months, when you wear a pair of these beautiful sunglasses you will stand out and be noticed. Then again, if you don’t want to be noticed you can hide behind the beauty of these sunglasses, so it really is the perfect pair for everyone.

What’s great about the Chanel Pearl sunglasses is that the mother of pearl allows them to go perfectly with every outfit. The look of the mother of pearl changes depending on the lighting, what you are wearing, and what you are doing with your hair, so they really do go well with just about everything. You can wear your Chanel Pearl sunglasses when you go to the beach, but you can also wear them and look great when you go to an outdoor wedding, a baseball game, a picnic, anywhere really! Many great sunglasses are not this versatile, but the Chanel Pearl glasses really blend in and look great no matter what you are doing and where you are doing it.

Everyone has probably seen these particular Chanel sunglasses while they have been out and about, and many probably want them. What is surprising is that they are not all that expensive considering how versatile they are. Many people spend more on brands such as Oakley and they don’t look nearly as fashionable as those that buy Chanel Pearl sunglasses do! Chanel also has a fantastic reputation for their sunglasses holding up, so if you buy these sunglasses this year you’ll find that you can still wear them in five years. When you are buying a name brand product this is what many expect, but Chanel is one o the few to deliver.

Every year Chanel is coming out with a couple new mother of pearl selections. Although there are new pairs of these sunglasses every year, one is not necessarily better than another. After three years of production, it is obvious that this look is not going out of style, so that is good news if you are just getting in on the craze because you know that your investment in these glasses will last as long as you want it to. So, if you are looking for a pair of glasses that will literally go perfectly with everything you own, this is the pair to buy. You can find something that will blend more nicely with formal wear, casual wear, even your favorite swimsuit. A pair of quality glasses as fashionably beautiful as these is really hard to come by.

Hemming Jeans With A Designer Eurohem

The designer eurohem is a hemming technique primarily used in hemming jeans to preserve the worn hem and stitching of the original hem while shortening the jeans.

Here is how to do that!

Put on your jeans to determine how much you need to shorten them. Fold up the bottom to the length you want.

Mark the bottom fold with a pin.

Check and mark both legs in case one is shorter than the other.

Remove the jeans. Measure the distance from the pin to the top of the original hem stitching. Do NOT include the finished hem in this measurement.

Example: From the pin in the bottom fold (the finished length you want) to the top of the original hem stitching equals 2-1/2 inches.

Divide this amount by 2. Example: 2 -1/2 inches divided by 2 = 1-1/4 inches

Fold up the bottom of the jeans to the outside having the right sides together.

Measure from the top of the original hem stitching down to the 1/2 amount that you determined you needed to shorten the jeans.

Example: In my example, this would be 1-1/4 inches.

What you will actually do is take a tuck in the jeans leg right above the original hem line.

Place a pin right beside the top of the original stitching line. Measure all around the jeans leg and pin to hold the tuck in place right beside the original hem stitching line.

Make sure it is smooth and measures the same all around the leg.

Note: If the jeans are flared, the bottom hem will be larger than the width of the shortened leg.
Then, you must open the inseam of the original hem and shorten it to meet the new leg width.

With a zipper foot on your machine, stitch the tuck close to the original stitching line, removing the pins as you come to them.

The original worn hem and stitching should be visible when you are finished.

Press the original hem down.

Press the tuck up inside the leg if it is less than an inch. If it is more, cut off the extra fabric leaving about 3/4 of an inch to allow for fraying. Press this fabric up into the leg.

On the outside of the leg, stitch in the ditch (well of the seam) on both the inseam and out seam of the jeans to hold the tuck up into the leg.

Press well.

The jeans still have the original hem at the bottom and the tuck is not noticeable.

Enjoy your Designer Eurohemmed Jeans!

Try it! It just makes sense!
