Dr. A.F.Downum OPTOMETRIST CONTACT LENSES FOR THE MIDDLE AGED Q. Is ther a way to fit contact lenses so that reading glasses won't be needed? A. If you don't want to wear reading glasses over your contact lenses, there are several ways to fit (or refit) you with contacts. These methods can often give the middle-aged patient good dis tance and near vision. The most commom method is to fit one contact lens that cor rects distance vision and one that correct* near visions. Samoe patients wear just one contact lens. For example: If your distance vision is dear, wear one lens for correcting near vision only. If your near vision is clear, wear one contact lens for correcting your distance vision. This technique, called monovision, can be used when fitting any type of contact lenses: hard, soft,! gas-per meable or extended- wear. Improved bifocal contact lenses offer a third alternative for a limited, but growing number of patient*. Your optometrist can advise you on what's best for your and your eyes. Dr. A.F. DOWNUM 103 W. Ed?n St. Ectonton, N.C. Phoni 482-8444 Insurance buying guide will aid small businesses A buying guide designed to help small businesses find group health insurance has just been published by the N. C. Health Insurance Trust Commission. Citing the unavailability of suffi cient health care to many small businesses and the "significant portion of uncompensated health care costs" represented by unin sured employees, the 1967 General Assembly created the commission to address the problems. "What we've found," said Com mission Chairman Shannon Brown, "is that there is coverage available if you look for it, but sometimes small business opera tors just don't have the time or re sources to look far enough. This guide will help solve that prob lem." Entitled "Group Health Plans for Small Businesses", the guide lists some 70 insurance companies willing to provide coverage. For eacn offering company, the guide sets forth such information as: how small the group may be and how many must enroll for the company to provide coverage; th benefits offered; the amounts c deductibles, co-payments an maximum coverage; and the cot of premiums. The trust commission is locate in the Department of Insurant which provides administrative an staff support. Insurance Commissioner Jii Long observed that with public tion of the buyer's guide "tru commission members have mac a substantial contribution to sma business, the backbone of our ecoi omy. I applaud their work and ai pleased that our department sta could take part in the project." Long said of the 900 thousan North Carolinians who have r health insurance, 250 thousand ai either employees in the state's i thousand small businesses or ai dependents of employees. Any small business owner intei ested in obtaining the guide shoul write: Mr. Ron Moore, N. C. D< partment of Insurance, P. O. Bo 26387, Raleigh, NC.
