Your eyes are among the most delicate and vulnerable organs of the body. Yet, the current fashion for rimless
or narrow-rimmed glasses with smaller lenses might lead you to believe that this
type of eyewear offers adequate protection for your eyes when playing sport. Or,
perhaps Authentic Ryan Murray Jersey , if wearing glasses is impractical, you might adopt a cavalier attitude to protective eyewear and leave your eyes
unprotected.
You could easily regret exposing your eyes to potential risk, however. It is not necessary to have a severe laceration or penetrating
eye injury to suffer internal damage to the eyes. Relatively minor injuries
sustained when playing sport can create long-term visual problems which can lead
eventually to vision loss.
Vision care, then, is not an optional extra but a vital prerequisite for everybody participating in sport and Authentic Sonny Milano Jersey , as a first step, it is advisable to have an eye check-up. This presents you with the ideal opportunity to discuss your
particular visual requirements, thereby ensuring your safety and
comfort.
Making the right choice doesn't necessarily mean that everyone who plays the same sport opts for the same eyewear. Let's take golf, for
example. Many golfers prefer wider-framed, tinted prescription sunglasses to
give them protection from the glare of the sun. Others prefer contact
lenses.
However Authentic Cam Atkinson Jersey , as one leading golfer recently found to his cost, contact lenses provide the wearer with very little eye protection. Trapped
in a very deep bunker with sheer sides, he successfully dislodged the ball from
the slope but, at the same time, managed to lodge several grains of sand in his
eye. The incident broke his concentration and rhythm Authentic Matt Calvert Jersey , and his subsequent performance was distanctly under-par!
Instead of rubbing the eye vigorously, as a contact lens wearer he should have immediately removed the lens and cleaned it thoroughly
before replacing it. Obviously, in this instance, it would be neither feasible
nor appropriate to wear contact lenses in conjunction with protective
goggles.
The TV commentator at the golf tournament remarked that a solution increasingly adopted by many top-ranking golfers is corrective eye
surgery. Again, though Authentic Alexander Wennberg Jersey , this is not suitable for everybody who plays this sport. The most important consideration is to be aware of the
potential risks and protect your eyes accordingly.
Increasingly, snooker players are choosing specially designed glasses with an enlarged upper area of
the lens. It almost looks as if they are wearing their glasses upside down! This
enlarged lens design particularly suits those players who are short-sighted.
They need to look down the cue to the cue ball as well as raise their eyes to
the pocket and surrounding balls on the table without lifting their head. An
applied anti-reflective coating offers extra protection for their eyes from the
glare of overhead fluorescent lighting.
When choosing frames safety is paramount closely followed by comfort. They need to be strong enough to resist a
hard impact but lightweight enough to make for comfortable wearing. An
elasticated sports band, along with a padded bridge on metal frames, provides
both safety and comfort.
Lenses should be equally strong enough to resist a hard impact. Polycarbonate, a very tough material Authentic Zach Werenski Jersey , is used to make protective goggles for squash players, but is suitable for many other sports. They are far preferable
to easily-shattered glass lenses, and even to toughened lenses.
Enjoy playing your sport, but don't play about with your eyes: they are very precious
assets. Find a practitioner who will help you keep them safe.
Your cooling system works overtime during the long hot days of summer. The last thing you need is a malfunctioning air conditioning (AC) system. Make sure
it is operating at peak performance before you head out on your summer road
trip. A couple of weeks before your trip, schedule an air conditioner service so
that you can reach your destination comfortably. Keep your cool by having a
necessary air conditioner repair as soon as possible Authentic Jack Johnson Jersey , even if it’s for that short commute to work, or just taking your kids for a picnic in the park.
A thorough inspection of your vehicle’s AC should be performed annually so that you can keep your cool
when temperatures soar. It is important to always have the AC system properly
maintained to keep it in tip-top shape and to avoid a costly air conditioner
repair down the road. A vehicle’s heating, ventilating and air conditioning
system (HVAC) keeps the interior cabin comfortable in any season by providing
the right temperature and humidity level.
A typical air conditioner service consists of:
> A service technician checks pressures to test operation, refrigerant charge and outlet temperatures.
> If the refrigerant is too low, a leak test is performed to find the source of the leak.
Leaking refrigerant is also damaging the ozone layer.
> Refrigerant may be added if necessary to “top off” the system. Your mechanic should know your state
regulations Cheap Josh Anderson Jersey , as some states do not allow “topping off.”
> A technician may also check for evidence of refrigerant cross-contamination, which is the mixing of refrigerants.
> An air conditioner service should also include a check of the compressor’s drive belt
and tension.
Remember: Check the cooling system at least once a year to make sure it is running efficiently all year long. It will help improve your gas
mileage, is more environmenta.
