Opticians from Specsavers Ennis recently made a trip to Kolkata, India, to provide crucial eye care in aid of The Hope Foundation. This saw them working in The Hope Hospital Eye Clinic and visiting local communities. During their week-long trip, the team of expert opticians gave eye checks to thousands of patients, and dispensed thousands of pairs of glasses. To find out more about this, Alan Morrissey was joined by optometrist at Specsavers Ennis, Riya Rose Mathew. Photo (c): Clare FM

My guest this week is Irwin Jeffrey, CHP-BC candidate for the provincial electoral district of Skeena. He and I are representing the pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom cause in the BC provincial election campaign that ends this Saturday, October 19 (Final Voting Day). Irwin and I compare notes on the social values of BC voters as they grapple with such issues as Bill 36, carbon taxes, rebuilding the healthcare system destroyed by the NDP, SOGI in the classrooms and the life-and-death issues of abortion, doctor-assisted suicide (MAiD) and the epidemic of gender confusion leading to irreversible gender surgeries. We talk about the desperation of folks who want the NDP out but who hesitate to vote for the candidate or party they really want due to ‘strategic' voting and peer pressure. Voters in Skeena who wish to communicate with Irwin or who wish to e-transfer to his campaign (Saturday, Oct 19 is the last day to contribute), may do so at: irjeff.chp@gmail.com If making a contribution, you MUST include your full name and address, your phone number and email. MAXIMUM contribution is $1450 (TOTAL of contributions in 2024 to ALL CHP-BC candidates AND the party, CHP-BC).

N3 takes the neurolens measuring device into virtual reality and streamlines the doctor's use of the platform. Key Takeaways:Business innovation is driven by observing the needs and painpoints of your customers. Neurolens' newest measurement device was built on the most experienced pain points and opportunities of patients and doctors.The new N3 device moves out of pre-testing into the exam room and is to be used while the patient is waiting for the doctor. The VR based platform makes testing and patient education easier.The new VR platform has resulted in 80% of patients wanting to learn more about neurolens, driving the conversation forward and making it easier to have patients fulfill their neurolens prescription.To improve capture rate, position neurolens as a medical device and help the patient connect the solution with the personal and psychological impacts of their symptoms in their day-to-day lives. What Brant & Pierre are reading:In the Garden of Beasts by Erik LarsonRevival by Steven KingThe Score Takes Care of Itself by Bill Walsh

How's your eyesight? From the moment we're born, our eyes grow, our vision becomes clearer and some of us will have normal or even 20:20 vision. However, others will become short-sighted and end up wearing glasses or contact lenses to help them see everything clearly. And some experts claim that more of us will be wearing them in the future because of our lifestyle when we were younger.你的视力怎么样？从我们出生的那一刻起，我们的眼睛就会长大，我们的视力会变得更清晰，我们中的一些人会拥有正常甚至 20:20 的视力。然而，其他人会变得近视，最终会戴上眼镜或隐形眼镜来帮助他们看清一切。一些专家声称，由于我们年轻时的生活方式，未来会有更多人佩戴它们。Even today, optometrists are reporting a rise in short-sightedness – also called myopia – in children. The condition can be genetic, but it's also partly being blamed on a number of modern-day factors – particularly children staring at phone screens, computers and game consoles for long periods of time. It's believed myopia also makes them susceptible to secondary eye conditions such as glaucoma, retinal detachment and other visual impairments later in life.即使在今天，验光师也报告说儿童近视（也称为近视）人数有所增加。这种情况可能是遗传的，但也部分归咎于许多现代因素——尤其是儿童长时间盯着手机屏幕、电脑和游戏机。据信，近视还使他们在以后的生活中容易患上青光眼、视网膜脱离和其他视力障碍等继发性眼病。Of course, children have had increased screen time due to lockdowns imposed during the Covid pandemic – it's been the only way to access education and communicate with others. But education generally could be blamed for the rise in myopia. Neema Ghorbani-Mojarrad, lecturer at the University of Bradford, told BBC Future website: "We suspect it is reading and spending more time indoors. Every year of education completed increases the expected amount of short-sightedness."当然，由于 Covid 大流行期间实施的封锁，孩子们看屏幕的时间增加了——这是获得教育和与他人交流的唯一途径。但教育通常可以归咎于近视的增加。布拉德福德大学讲师 Neema Ghorbani-Mojarrad 告诉 BBC Future 网站：“我们怀疑它正在阅读并在室内花费更多时间。每年完成的教育都会增加近视的预期数量。”The problem appears to be more severe in some Asian countries. Some experts say that in these places with huge educational success, children spend more time indoors studying. Therefore, it seems, spending more time outdoors could be good for children's eye health. The UK's College of Optometrists is suggesting parents should get their kids playing outside for two hours a day. Several scientific studies show this can prevent or stop the development of myopia.这个问题在一些亚洲国家似乎更为严重。一些专家说，在这些教育成功的地方，孩子们在室内学习的时间更多。因此，看来，花更多的时间在户外可能对孩子的眼睛健康有益。英国验光师学院建议父母每天让孩子在户外玩耍两个小时。多项科学研究表明，这可以预防或阻止近视的发展。There's been a focus on using technology, such as laser surgery, for fixing myopia, but for children at least, it seems a dose of daylight and a break from the screen might be part of the solution. Opticians also recommend kids have regular eye tests to identify any problems before they become more severe.人们一直关注使用激光手术等技术来矫正近视，但至少对于儿童而言，似乎一定剂量的日光和远离屏幕可能是解决方案的一部分。配镜师还建议孩子定期进行眼科检查，以便在问题变得更严重之前发现任何问题。词汇表eyesight 视力vision 视力，视觉20:20 vision 正常裸眼视力short-sighted 近视的wear glasses 戴眼镜wear contact lenses 戴隐形眼镜optometrist 验光师，配镜师myopia 近视genetic 基因遗传的secondary eye condition 继发性眼病glaucoma 青光眼retinal detachment 视网膜脱离visual impairment 视觉障碍screen time （看电视、电脑、手机等的）屏幕时间laser surgery 激光手术optician 配镜师，眼镜销售员eye test 视力测试

The topiary at the top of my garden is definitely due a hair cut. I've resisted doing it myself because a lack of three dimensional vision has lead me to the conclusion that I have no skills in this department. Months of covid lockdown have lead me to the same conclusion about my own hair. The only thing that I can say about cutting my own hair is that it would be shorter. Some relief has come about, over recent days, at the thought of a garden that is running wild, inhabited by an owner with wild hair, once clipped to within an inch of their lives. It has come about because I lost my reading glasses. I lost them without noticing, which shows how much use they are. I have been looking for my readers, for over a week now. I have looked in the dishwasher. I have done a meticulous finger search of nearly ten days of household waste. I have been through the mounting bags of charity shop donations as well as the ironing, the washing and my phone book, asking anyone who has dropped off food at my door, or sat in my garden for the proverbial two-yard cuppa, to check they have not taken them away with them. Relief was at hand. Not the glasses, but the availability of a hair dressers appointment and gardening assistance. I've waited for months and both came along on the same day. “Ewe. I've found a pair of glasses in your flowerbed,” said the garden support team. “Are they yours?” I must have lost them leaning over a plant I inspected, working out whether or not I should pull it up and consign it to the recycling, or water it. The blind truth of the matter is that I didn't notice the scattering of spectacles in the flower bed and sprinkled them with a light dusting of mushroom compost that had to go somewhere because the bag burst. One look at the glasses told me they were beyond redemption. Getting a replacement pair is proving harder than expected. I need an up to date prescription. That is, I don't need an up to date prescription as it makes no difference to me. The Opticians seem to think it's important. A quick e-mail revealed that not only was my Optomitrist on his hols but he'd gone to Slough for his respite. On his return he tells me that my prescription is in storage in Coventry and not to bother asking why. I don't. When I explain to my local high street provider that I don't need an eye test, my ten-year-old prescription will do, no one rings me back. I suspect they suspect I'm calling from #Down The Line. Their fear of making a fool of themselves in front of Radio 4 listeners trumps further enquiry. Who in their right mind would buy reading glasses with an out of date prescription? A good dousing in #Fairy Liquid and hot water has eliminated most of the mushroom compost staining. The blur is much the same as it ever was, apart from the large blob in the middle of the left lens, so I have started wearing the readers again, at a tilt to counter balance the blob. In the drive for better looking glasses I lost my chance to book a hair appointment.  I can probably do without one, but unlike the prescription for my reader, there is always room for improvement. I will be nothing if not persistent. The garden is looking beautiful, although not by my hand.   Image is Siobhain Santry's drawing of Anna's face.

Crowley's Opticians has a long & rich history in Cork where it's called 26 Grand Parade home for over 100 years. Conor Crowley & Paul McSherry join Stephen today to talk about the success of this homegrown business. The store was originally called Rundel's where Conor's father had worked before taking over in 1970 & changing the name Crowley's which we know & love today. Conor is a skilled optometrist & in the early days of the trade he would hand craft glasses for client's in the workshop with very limited designs available. Today the advancement technology has created a huge expansion in the business with science advancements in lenses & more fashionable frame designs. Crowley's success, legacy & brand is very important to Conor & he has brought in a huge team to ensure the ethos of the business remains after his retirement & that's where Paul & the rest of the team have come in to ensure this. Crowley's has even branch outside of Cork with a new store in Newbridge with a plan to fly the Crowley flag (with Cork colours) high above stores across Ireland. Hosted on Acast.

Simon was born prematurely and as a result, has a severe hearing loss. During the pandemic, he struggled because of his need to lipread when communicating with others, and the masks presented a significant barrier in this regard. Having had several negative experiences (Doctor Surgeries, Supermarkets, Opticians, Pharmacies etc.) he wrote a post about the experience and this was viewed over 110,000 times on LinkedIn. If you are interested in the post, you can view it here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gsimonhoughton_im-so-sick-of-having-to-apologise-for-being-activity-6765630683810418689-3qBT From this, he started the national campaign #WeSupportDeafAwareness which aims to help organisations and their staff better communicate with the deaf and hard of hearing. Since 12th April, over 24,000 UK employees have now been given access to his training, and a range of organisations from FTSE100, NHS, Charities, Trade Unions and small companies have joined the campaign.
