CHRIS MOSHOURES —OPTOMETRIST iiviPRGVING YOUR VISION If you have 20/20 viaion and can see perfectly well all of the time, no matter how close or far away an object may be, you’re one of the ludcy ones. You’re also lucky if your job doesn’t require 20/20 vi sion. Things may be different at home when you’re trying to fix something and need the ability to see things close up especially well. Or if you have a hobby, such as needlework, that would almost impossible to do well without ac curate vision. Or If you like to read for long periods of time without suffering eyestrain or fatigue. In some occupations, good vision is essential. Surgeons and airline pilots can’t afford to take chances either. At least I hope not But there’s also the eye comfort factor, too, no matter what your needs may be. If there are times when you need help to see clearly, you will be able to benefit by wear ing glasses or contact lenses. Only an eye examination can tell you If your vision needs help. Even if you’ll only need to use reading glasses for 30 minutes in an entire day to read the morning newspaper, doesn't it make sense to enjoy those 30 minutes? It’s your life and your decision. Only your eye doctor can help. • • • • In the interest of better vision from the office of: Brunswick Vision Care CIsfis MoshottrsSi O D Pine St, Shallotte, 754-4020 Salt Marsh Sq., Calabash, 579-4020 (HconvERse} THERE’S Ru I iiiL _ LIKE AH 0RI6IHAL Turquoise Pastel Green Pink Red Peach Yellow Bright Blue convniM nMcblerOwSttra.
