An Eye on Vision Issues!

Volume 8: Issue 4; Week of August 26th to September 1st

Hello, Everyone.

Hope everyone enjoyed the summer. The end of August brings thoughts of the fall and leaves changing colors in preparation for winter. I am ready for some cooler temperatures.
This past week I listened to a story that introduced me to information I did not know. Rosie O’Donnell, a comic, movie and television star experienced a heart attack at the age of 50. During the story, I discovered that women experience symptoms different from men during a heart attack. Take the time to visit the Nutrition Website on BellaOnline written by Moss Green to find out more information about symptoms of a heart attack for women. Wishing everyone good health.

Coming Next Week: Low-Vision Cooking Aides Review

Buying low-vision products that actually help a visually impaired individual it not as easy as it sounds. Most low-vision products are only accessible through ordering from a catalogue. Buying from a catalogue does not give a customer the opportunity to check out the product before buying therefore, I decided to post information about low-vision products I use in my home. Read the review to find out if some of the products can help you or someone, you know who is dealing with low-vision and loves to cook.


Until next week – Have a great week!
