Mother's Day Rapidly Approaching
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Just a few days remain before Mother's Day. Cards, flowers and phone calls will get things started. Looking for a few special surprises for your Mom?

How about a quality pair of wraparound 100% UVA/UVB sunglasses? Protect your mother from hazardous rays that contribute to wrinkles, cataracts and macular degeneration. Does your Mom like Sinatra or hip-hop? You can even get shades with built-in MP3 players.

Neat magnifiers can be found in many optical shops. There are illuminated clip-on devices to help with bedtime reading as well as those slim credit card style magnifiers for squinting Moms on the go.

At first glance this may seem silly, but what about a supply of quality vitamins? The good ones are pretty expensive. (See my earlier post on Vitamins and Vision ) Choose a balanced multivitamin with added antioxidants like beta carotene, selenium, and lutein. Most brands of 'eye vitamins' are meant to taken in addition to the daily multivitamin...simplify life with one quality product.

Take good care of your Mother - you wouldn't be here without her!
