Smile on Saturday! :-) theme : Eyeglasses
I borrowed my hubby's eyeglasses for my photo shoot.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
In an Optometrist's office in downtown San Jose, California.
I think his brother is a dentist.
You might need to click the pic to enlarge it so you can read the chart.
i've reached 14 millions views on my photostream, and i'd like to thank all of you.
i joined flickr almost 5 years ago, and during the first years i used to give a personal reply to all the people who took the time to look at my pictures and leave a comment or a fave. now it's impossible, as i get too many. i'm happy that so many people appreciate my work, but i'm very sorry that i don't have time to reciprocate all the feedbacks i get.
i want you to know that your support, opinions and criticisms mean a lot to me and that you make my photographic experience more significant and enriching.

January is National Eye Care Month. Mine is very concerned about eye care. She says as a sporting breed she like to see the birds in the sky but also to catch glimpses of dogs on television. She just wants to know where the D O G is on the chart. ;)
My eye doctor keeps saying that I should wear glasses, but that is ridiculous, as my eyesight is perfectly good! I only keep these glasses around to humor him. I never wear them...well, hardly ever. ;-)
For Cliché Saturday: To Infinity and Beyond
For Our Daily Challenge: Classic
The method of using selective gaussian blur for shots such as this must by now be a clichéd use of a classic digital processing technique. The eye chart shown here is also a classic. Known as a Snellen chart, it is named after the Dutch ophthalmologist Herman Snellen, who developed the chart in 1862.
HCS!
Dr. Hilbert: Okay, Selma. I want you to read that bottom line.
Selma: Read it? Why, I know that guy!

August Is National Eye Exam Month
August is “National Eye Exam Month” and healthy vision starts with an eye exam. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that you have a baseline eye exam at age 40, the time when the early signs of disease or changes in your vision may occur. A baseline screening can help identify signs of eye disease at an early stage, when treatment can have the greatest impact on preserving your vision.
If you’re 65 or older, it’s recommended that you have your eyes checked every year or two for signs of age-related diseases, like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
The doctor may suggest additional testing to further evaluate your vision using specialized testing equipment. These tests can be crucial in diagnosing a disease in its early stages and give the doctor an opportunity to suggest a treatment or cure. Prevention through early detection is key to good eye health.

Long story short…lol...I went to emerg last weekend because hubby thought the toe I thought I broke at the beginning of February did not look good. They took Xrays but the doc thought that there was no sign of breakage even though the knuckle was really swollen and red. Late Wednesday night I got a call that the radiologist read the Xrays and it showed a bone chip fracture. Yesterday after gardening I came in and my whole foot was so unbelievably itchy, swollen and red I went back up to emerg to make sure it was just Athlete's foot from the buddy taping I'd been told to do. Yes, just Athlete's foot…:) But the toe won't heal for another six months and I can't do any weight bearing exercises like running so it's back to the swimming pool for me and I'll put the recumbent bike in the driveway to get some fresh air…lol. One of my goals of turning 60 this year was to take part in the Women's Triathlon they have here every summer. Spectator sport now! There's always next year! :)
I created this shot in my studio for use on my site, about assisted living but I want to share it since it is applicable to much more than just senior health care. Feel free to use this image but please give attribution by linking to www.AssistedSeniorLiving.net or give us a Plus one or even a Facebook like. It is very difficult to get seniors to +1 so your help can really help us establish the site as a great resource for caregivers and seniors.
Excerpt from the information boards (from Top Left Clockwise):
The Survival Guide for Demonstrators by Jota Castro: The Guide consisted of a printed newspaper, including images and information with practical tips and reasons for which to demonstrate in the cities of Brussels, Istanbul, Havana, London, Dakar, Bilbao, Jeremie, and Treviso. Unfortunately those same reasons and context have not changed in the past twelve years, and today the artist not only offers a very similar take on events, but also invites us to provide reasons to demonstrate in Toronto.
The Freedom Fighter Manual by Juan Ortiz-Apuy: The manual is a 17-page document designed by the CIA in 1983, airdropped over Nicaragua with the goal of overthrowing the elected government. It contained a series of instructions for public disobedience and revolt, from ripping the pages out of books in public libraries, to how to make incendiary or Molotov bombs. Each page of the manual is silkscreened with glow-in-the-dark ink and set against 3 motion-sensor security lights. As you walk in, the lights are triggered and the content of the manual becomes invisible. You must stand perfectly still for a few seconds in order to view the piece. Juan Ortiz-Apuy explores levels of state intervention and imposed policies implemented for decades in the name of national security.
Performance ID Cards by Minerva Cuevas, Mejor Vida Corp.: Minerva Cuevas founded Mejor Vida Corp (Better Life Corporation) in 1998, an enterprise that provides free products and services such as international student ID cards, subway passes, lottery tickets and barcode stickers which reduce the price of food at supermarket chains. Cuevas assumes the role of political and artistic agent defying trends of control and subordination.
Eye Charts by Marcos Ramirez Erre: A series of print editions that attempt to assess the level of comprehension by correctly identifying the messages displayed on the Snellen Chart, which is traditionally used to measure visual activity. In his artist statement ERRE implies that “each quote is chosen by its ideological alignment and tries to compel the viewer to assume a position, to question his or her own alignment in relation to the significance of the quote.”
I've wanted to try a photo like this for a while and finally had enough time & energy to try it tonight. I decently happy with the results, but then could not decide how to edit them. There were so many ways to play with this photo.... it was endless. This was one of my favourites. It seems like the classic medicine photo with the stethoscope, spilled pilled bottles, and various other medical paraphernalia. The sepia worked nicely with this classic image, and I ended up preferring it over the black & whites I had tried.

There were so many ways to play with this photo.... it was endless. This was one of my favourites. I liked this one because for some reason medical images are often tinged with some extra green so I played it up a lot in this photo. I think it contrasts the orange pills nicely. It's fun and different. Plus I don't often overprocessed in this type of styling so it was a nice change form the norm.
It could be the eye chart that made Wally laugh. But anyway, we took him for a follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist. The good news is that his corneal ulcer is healing just fine, but the bad news is that the corneal scarring is pretty severe and it's going to take more time to fully heal. The corneal scars should not affect his vision, so that's another plus. But then again, Wally has to keep wearing the cone of shame. Good thing he doesn't mind it.
Classic eye chart generously provided by Vista Optical at Lloyd Center mall.
I wasn't sure that these still existed, but I asked at Vista Optical if they had one. I explained that I wanted to photograph it and why. Two were found in a plastic bag in a storage closet. I selected the least crumpled one and it was hung on wall for me to shoot. Thanks, Vista!

My friend Al Simmons is a fantastic entertainer, and his sing-along eye chart is always a crowd pleaser! This image is from two years ago, so I’m cheating a tad today with an old photo. But it’s just the right thing for today’s theme!!
You can sing along right HERE! And if you check out his other youtube videos, you’ll have lots of laughs. Al has just finished a U.S. tour that included gigs in GA, TN, PA, OH, IN, IL, and four dates in NC.

Having been asked by Emperor Palpatine to provide survival training for an elite group of hand picked troopers headed to Degobah on a secret mission, Stormtrooper Bruce asked Boba Fett to bring the Venomous Snake Eye Detection Chart he once used back in the day for his own training purposes.
STB: Thanks for bringing the chart. The Fancy Pants Troopers survived their first weeks training, so I'm starting their snake training tomorrow and I remember how handy the chart was when I went through your training.
TK-1110: Dude! I can't believe you and TK-432 actually stole all those snakes from The Tine's Petting Zoo. And you do realize one has just escaped, right?
STB: OK, let's get one thing clear. We borrowed the snakes. I'll return them when I'm done. And why are you hiding behind the t.v.? Look at the chart. Can't you see it's harmless?
TK-1110: There's no way I'm getting close enough to tell what kind it is. I'm staying back here! Besides, I don't trust one of Fett's charts.
Fett: Let me get this straight. You're a seasoned Trooper, a trained killer, an adrenaline junkie who once claimed his middle name was Danger, but you're scared of a little bitty snake?
TK-432: When's the pizza coming? I'm getting hungry!
TK-1110: Dude, isn't that the bogus eye chart you told us Fett used in your training? It's just eye scans of the different aliens he's brought in.
Fett: Awww, they're not just wanted criminals, some are people you actually know. One of them is Palpatine's. And a new one I just added is STB's shapeshifting girlfriend. It's not bogus. There's all kinds of danger in the galaxy, you just need to be able to recognize it in order to survive.
TK-432: Whatever. How many pizzas did you order?
STB: For the last time... that thing was not my girlfriend.
TK-1110: Chart, shmart. Could somebody please, for the love of the Emperor, put that snake back in the cooler? We're missing the movie!
