Imperial Optical, Inc. Introduces its Contact Lens Success Program Guarantee
Imperial Optical, Inc., the leading independent wholesale contact lens distributor in North America, today launched its "Contact Lens Success Program" guarantee.
The "Program" provides eyecare practitioners with a full refund on up to two opened and partially used boxes of disposable contact lenses that are returned as a result of a patient's unsuccessful transition to contact lenses and/or a patient's unsuccessful conversion from one contact lens product to another.David Pearce, Imperial Optical's Marketing Manager said, "After talking with many independent practitioners, it became clear that Imperial Optical could take a leading position in the contact lens distribution marketplace by developing a no-hassle return policy to support practitioners who offer a contact lens success program to their patients.
I strongly urge all independent ECPs to develop a contact lens success program.
Eyeglass-wearing patients are more likely to give contact lenses a try, either as a lifestyle supplement to their glasses or a full-time transition, if there is little or no financial risk involved."
"Imperial Optical is devoted to finding new and innovative ways to help independent eyecare practitioners be more successful.
I hope that more of our ECP strategic partners will develop and implement a contact lens success program knowing that Imperial Optical is here to take back, at a full refund, the lenses from patients whose transition was unsuccessful," Pearce concluded.
The "Contact Lens Success Program" guarantee will give eyecare practitioners a full refund on up to two (one box if the Rx is the same for both eyes) opened and partially used boxes of disposable contact lenses.
A patient name will be required at the time of order specific to their prescription.
Whether ECPs order one box or eight for their specific patient, Imperial will credit the purchase price of the entire order when the unused and undamaged boxes are returned with the opened and partially used box(es) (some restrictions apply ? see terms of guarantee at: www.imperialoptical.com/contactlenssuccessprogramguarantee.aspx ).Imperial Optical, Inc., founded in 1989, is the largest independent wholesale contact lens distributor in North America specifically focused on providing eyecare professionals with one-stop access to a superior selection of value-priced, top quality, branded contact lenses and a commitment to customer service known throughout the industry as the "Imperial Advantage."

A Little Red Wine Could Take You A Long Way!
Longevity interests a lot of people who aren't ready to give up their lives, just yet, and who look to healthy alternatives to culturally defined eating patterns and "health care."
The benefits of drinking wine have been touted for a while and are thought, by some, to be the reason why the French can get away with eating a high fat diet while enjoying a low rate of coronary disease.
A few years ago, a study by French research team also found that men who regularly drank at least two glasses of wine daily were 50 percent less likely than non-drinkers to suffer a second heart attack.
Previous studies with yeast, a small species of worm, and fruit flies have shown that resveratrol -- a polyphenol antioxidant found in grapes, especially red grapes, and particularly pinot noir grapes which are grown in northern latitudes and used in wines coming from New York, Washington, and Oregon -- is a life-extending compound.
In a new study...

Retirement: Living or Just Existing?
by Barbara Morris, R.Ph.
Are you planning to retire?
If the answer is yes, are you preparing financially? If so, that means you will have enough money to do all the fun things you look forward to doing, instead of having to think twice about the smallest purchase.
And, hopefully, you will plan so well that you will have more than enough money to pay for medical services not covered by insurance or Medicare. Unfortunately, many folks retire thinking, "I won't need as much money anymore." Wrong!
"Old age" is not free. Even if you have taken great care of yourself over the years, the older you get the more maintenance and repair you need and it can be costly.
But a happy retirement takes more than money.
There is something drastically wrong with the way we prepare for retirement. We are encouraged to plan financially, but who is advising us to have a plan to be healthy enough to enjoy the fruit of all the years of...

Deck Staining
When staining a deck, see that the surface is clean, or use a deck cleaner to clean the surface. Old decks might contain mildew, algae or mold, hence it is good to use wood brightener. Use sanding sponges or sandpaper to clean the surface of mill-glazed wood. Leave the surface to dry from two to three days before staining for good results. Choose the best quality stain so that the life expectancy of your deck will increase.
You can use semi-transparent deck stains to show through the wood's grain. If you want the surface to be opaque, you can use solid deck stains that come in different colors.
It is preferable to apply stain when the atmospheric temperature is between 50 degrees Fahrenheit and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Applying stain during dew or frost or wet weather may lead to bad results. Allow it to dry for two to three days and avoid drying under direct sunlight.
A stain brush is advisable for spraying as it has greater penetration into...
