This Weeks Article:

I researched the top causes of vision loss concerning women. A great reference site is the Women’s Eye Health Organization website.

A second article is coming on Wednesday – “What should you do when you see a blind person?” I am starting a series of articles on life as a visually impaired/blind person, any input or suggestions for articles is appreciated.

**Entertainment Note: If you enjoy National Geographic shows visit YouTube and listen to the narrated version of “First Contact” on the Narrated Television Network – a site designed for the visually impaired/blind that contains a variety of narrated shows/movies. First Contact is a documentary about a tribe native to the Brazilian Rain Forest – very entertaining human-interest documentary.


Coming Next Week:

Women’s Eye Health: Statistics, Prevention and Safety.

Until next week – Have a great week!
Dean.
