Some patients need more guidance - depending on age, experience of wearing lenses (hard or soft), their eye sight, etc. and others find the perfect lenses on the first try. The important thing, I guess, is to remember that one pays noy only for a product but also a service, and that this is a lasting alternative (unlike laser vision correction) to glasses or daytime contacts.

It is great to read that where we can help to the less fortunate people, we should. However these people have something that we so sadly lack- the family ethics and the community togetherness. The days when the extended families lived and grew up together respecting and helping each other is long lost and forgotten. let us hope that your website may bring some people back to the real world . Good luck in you project and plased to ead the wonderful plans you have. Let us hope you can achieve them as well. Rehana. What a brilliant website.

Its method of "helping" Haiti over the years has clearly failed. For example, the ridiculous interest on loans, investing in weapons when Haitians need food and health care, letting Canadian buisnesses guide the steps the Canadian gov takes there...I could go on. Organizatoins like Partners in Health are better because the money goes directly toward Haitians and what they need -no strings attatched. Just something I feel strongly about!!

Stop for a moment and compare this to illegal drugs. Does the fact that you cant just pop into a shop and buy them, make them less attractive? Noooo. In fact, if you make it illegal, it increases the wanting of some groups. A complete ban would just create a black market. You can grow tobacco in your back garden in many climbates! Has the indoor smoking ban, created less young smokers? Again no... the kids see all the happy smokers standing outside having fun, instead of them hiding away in a smoky bar. MORE kids are smoking in the UK, as a result of the smoking bans, in my experience. Then there is high taxation as a weapon... again creating a huge black market! Governments may kid themselves that they are beating smoking, because sales are falling, but they are failing to recognise the "grey" imports. I do not know one person who buys their supply through legal channels! This will take hundreds of years to eradicate, not twenty or thirty. But of course, your local politician will deny it......
