While it's hard to beat a good bargain, chasing the lowest price on contact lenses may not be worth it. Cheap, non-prescription or counterfeit contacts may cause:
◽ Corneal abrasions
◽ Eye infections
◽ Toxin exposure
Only prescribed, FDA-approved lenses are safe. Stick with trusted retailers, a valid prescription and your eye doctor’s advice. https://www.allaboutvision.com/eyewear/contact-lenses/cheap-contacts/

VISUAL PATHWAYS from your eyes to your Visual Cortex is complex. For people with Irlen Syndrome, this complexity is increased because their brain is unable to process the full spectrum of visible light that enters our eyes, particularly when reading black print on a white background. They can experience distortions, discomfort, headaches and a lack of concentration. They can have perfect eyesight, and they DO NOT know that what they see is different from what others see, so it is a HIDDEN disability. HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOUR CHILD HOW THE WORDS LOOK? 🤔

This diagram illustrates the autonomic nervous system's control over pupillary light reflexes and various pupil disorders. It details the neural pathways involved in the pupillary light reflex, starting with light entering the eye and traveling through the optic nerves, optic chiasm, and optic tract to the brainstem. The diagram also explains the effects of different drops on the pupils in cases of Horner's syndrome, Adie's tonic pupil, and Argyll Robertson pupil. Additionally, it shows the anatomical pathways, including the central, preganglionic, and postganglionic routes, originating from the hypothalamus and passing through the superior cervical ganglion.
